Over 20,000 Pounds of Paper Shredded!
557 members of the community took steps to protect their identity
Goleta, California – May 13, 2010: Community West Bank, in partnership with ShredRite, local law enforcement, and Goleta Noontime Rotary, recently helped 557 community members from Santa Maria to Westlake Village shred 20,370 pounds of paper as part of their free Identity Theft Protection and Shredding event. Thousands of personal and business documents such as bank statements, tax forms, and old checks were safely and securely destroyed on site using high-volume, truck-mounted shredders provided by ShredRite.
Additionally, local law enforcement officers from the Santa Maria Police Department, the Santa Barbara County Sheriffs Department, and the Ventura County District Attorneys Office, along with representatives from the Goleta Noontime Rotary, provided valuable identity theft and fraud protection information.
“We are in our sixth year of providing this valuable community service,” stated Lynda Nahra, Community West Bank President & CEO. “Safely shredding personal and business documents is one small but powerful step towards protecting oneself against identity theft. We are pleased so many members of the community participated in our four events held across Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.”
Community West Bank has an identity theft prevention video available on their website for the community to learn other important ways to protect themselves. View the video at www.communitywestbank.com and click on the Education Center “click & learn” button found on the home page.
