ROTARY OF NEW BERN BREAKFAST SCHEDULES SHREDDING EVENT

The New Bern Breakfast Rotary Club, in cooperation with the City of New Bern, will celebrate Earth Day again this year by inviting individuals and businesses to bring their “shreddables” to Union Point Park on Saturday, April 19 from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm.

As part of this year’s Earth Day weekend, Rotary will provide a safe way to dispose of important papers no longer needed, and all documents are shredded on site. It is recommended that you check with your accounting professional to find out what tax forms, supporting documents and other statements you can safely shred.

Please try to remove any paper clips, clamps, or fasteners before shredding.

A donation of $10 per box is suggested to support the community donations by the Rotary Club of New Bern Breakfast Charities, although any additional donations will be appreciated and tax-deductible. “Funds raised by our Rotary Charities are used in our community for such projects as Kicks-4-Kids that provides 300+ pair of new shoes annually to school children in Craven County, as well as five $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors, four $250 scholarships for students at the VOLT Center, one $1,000 nursing scholarship at Craven Community College. We also support other activities in our community including, but not limited to, the Neuse River Bridge Run, the YMCA, Breakfast with Santa, Habitat for Humanity, Bike Box Project, Colors for Cancer,” said Clifton Pike, Club President.
