Oregon Pacific Bank will be
holding its eighth annual Free
Shred Day on Saturday, April

Trucks will be set up to
accept confidential paper mate-

The event is free and open to
everyone in the local commu-

The public is encouraged to
take advantage of Free Shred
Day as a way for individuals to
protect themselves from identi-
ty theft and correctly dispose
of paper waste.
After all paper documents
have been shredded they are
taken to be recycled, allowing
for a safe and responsible way
to dispose of confidential paper
materials.
The Free Shred Day event
will be staffed by Oregon
Pacific Bank employee volun-
teers, friends and family mem-
bers.
Many of these volunteers are
also part of Oregon Pacific

“Banking on Life,” and will be
helping out with a car wash
onsite during the Free Shred
Day event to raise money for
Relay For Life in support of

Part of protecting your automobile investment is finding an auto
repair shop you can trust. A trustworthy mechanic whom you're
comfortable with can ease any concerns you have when taking
the car in for maintenance, whether that maintenance is a
routine tuneup or more extensive repairs. Though mechanics
differ greatly, find one you can trust and one who knows your
car.
