On Sunday August 25th, the CTCDC partnered with Representative Steve McCarter and Senator LeAnna M. Washington to host a document shredding event in Cheltenham High School's parking lot. The turnout was incredible to say the least. Cars ringed the parking lot, out Panther Road and down Church Road. People came from all over the area to bring their unneeded confidential documents and records to be shred in secure equipment. 

Both Rep. Steve McCarter and Sen. LeAnna Washington were there for the event to meet the patient souls that waited in the long lines to make their 'contribution to the cause'.
