Shredding Party
Shred your personal or business papers and documents safely on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at the Bolton Town Common – 673 Main Street. The time: From 9 AM to noon. The cost: Only $5 per banker’s box (12x15x10) or equivalent. This is the sixth year the Friends of Bolton Seniors (FOBS) is holding this event. All proceeds fund programs and services for Bolton’s seniors and are tax deductible.

This is the perfect time to shred your documents – tax season is over and it’s time for spring cleaning. It will be possible to shred almost anything: all types of papers and documents, CDs and DVDs, credit cards. There is no need to remove staples, paper and binder clips, or rubber bands.

Please contact Terry Abdalian at 978-870-6696 with any questions. You may also visit FOBS on Facebook or our website – fobsbolton.org.
