The Lake Gaston Association (LGA) held the annual Jack Saunders Community Shred Event on Saturday, May 4, 2024. This event provides an opportunity for lake residents to bring documents for commercial shredding at no cost to them. This year, the shred event surpassed the previous record of 93 vehicles with volunteers servicing a total of 117.

Volunteers unloaded boxes and bags of documents from the vehicles and placed them in a shredding bin, where the truck loaded them into the document shredder. This year we filled the shredding truck to capacity by the time the event ended at 1:00 p.m. We thank all the LGA volunteers in making this another successful event.

Next year’s event will once again be held on the first Saturday in May.
