AAA Security Shredding, a non-affiliated, third-party service provider of IBMSECU will be on site to safely dispose of financial and personal documents. The event will help Members and non-members free up space, eliminate unnecessary theft and security risks, and give them an opportunity to get rid of old, outdated, and useless files. IBMSECU will have experts on site to answer your ID Theft and fraud questions as well as provide free Credit Monitoring and ID Theft/Fraud Protection materials to attendees.  Free refreshments will be served.  Giveaways and a shredder will be raffled off during each Shred Day event.
