Free Community Shredding Event

Identity protection is the focus of community
shredding event


Now’s the time to clean out
your files, your desks and your garage!

Identity theft can happen to anyone, anywhere at
any time.  In fact, one out of every six Americans was a victim of identity theft in 20081.   If your identity is stolen, it’s more than an inconvenience.  It puts your financesand credit rating at risk – and that’s just the beginning.


To help local families protect themselves against identity theft, Thrivent
Financial will be sponsoring a community shredding event on Saturday, October 5
from 9:00 am to 1:00pm.   This event is
free to the public!
  An industrial
shredding truck will be in the parking lot of Our Savior Lutheran Ministries at
1385 S. Livermore Ave., Livermore, CA (near the intersection of South Livermore
& Concannon).

For
more information, call Beth Young at 925.443.1779 or email Bethany.young@comcast.net

Coffee, water and pastries will be provided free of charge, so start sorting!  Protect your identity by clearing out your unneeded files!

( Documents will need to be removed from
boxes prior to shredding, but on-site staff will be able to provide assistance.  Paper clips can go through the shredder,

but large binder clips will need to be removed. All shredding is done on site.)
