• The GAF will only accept plastic or brown paper bags.
• There will be no chairs for people to sit at the event, and no line will be allowed.
•Magazines or newspapers will not be accepted. The shredding service program is sponsored by the GAF to help the community dispose of their personal information safely and securely.

••• Salvation Army Donation Drive The GAF held a donation drive with the Salvation Army on Feb. 21, filling three large trucks with donated items from 414 vehicles over the course of five hours.
The Salvation Army sent three workers to help the 10 GAF volunteers with unloading items to be donated from cars, moving boxes to the containers and stacking the containers into the trucks. Most of the residents who donated brought an average of 5-7 bags of stuff, including
Salvation Army and GAF volunteers small furniture, kitchen appliances, house appliances, golf clubs, TVs, luggage, house appliances, shoes, CDs, books, women’s handbags, vacuum cleaners, comforters, cans of soup, and miscellaneous items.
In addition to giving residents a convenient way to drop off donations, the program also saves shareholders money by cutting haul-away costs for items that were previously disposed of at the 1.8-Acre site.
The donations will help support the Salvation Army’s Adult Rehabilitation Centers located across Southern California.
The next donation event will be held on April 11 from 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the Amphitheater parking lot.
GAF would like to thank the Salvation Army workers and GAF volunteers: Anna Derby, Rosemarie Da Roza, Charlie Dunn, Tonette Kadrmas, Geneva Potepan, Sherri and Dave Forney.
Special thanks to Dunn and Potepan for covering all day, volunteering to cover the shortage of afternoon shift volunteers. The GAF also thanks residents who donated to the foundation during the drive.
