First Annual Shred Event Saved 20 Trees!

First annual community shred event was a great success, saving over 20 trees!

We had a great turn out for our first annual community shred event April 28th in the Mableton neighborhood of Vinings Estates. Thank you to everyone who came out. The free event benefitted both the community and the environment. Within three hours, we had shredded over 2000 pounds of paper! That’s like saving 20 trees! Petersen Partners plans to make this an annual event and is already setting goals to save even more trees next year.

We were thrilled by the number of people who came out to Vinings Estates on Saturday to take advantage of Global Documents Shredding’s services to safely and securely destroy their confidential paper documents in a environmentally safe way. It was a beautiful day and the perfect time to do some spring cleaning & clear out old tax, bank, and personal records in a secure, environmentally friendly way. All of the shredded paper will be recycled, making our community a safer and cleaner place to live.

Petersen Partners would like to thank local residents and business owners Bailey-Bruster & Ellis Orthodontics for sponsoring the event. Ten student volunteers from Whitefield Academy also helped unload and carry documents for shredding- making this a real community effort.

Visitors to the shred event were entered to win a front row table for four at the June 16th performance of the Randall Bramblett Band at the Mable House. The winner will be announced on May 21st, but there is still time to enter! Like us on Facebook for your chance to win!

Are these the apartments that were once called "Garrison Plantation"?

This is Garrison Plantation - Garrison Lakes - Lakefront Vista. I lived there when it was familyRead More owned. It went from sister to brother then sold. Changed name from Garrison Plantation (because it wasn't PC) (but no one thought about what a garrison was) to Garrison Lakes (there's only one lake) to Lakefront Vista (under new ownership.) It's a dump now. The layout and size of the apts. are great. Even the location is great. Still know some people there. But it went downhill.

I'd rather answer the question "How do you feel about Roswell Street Baptist Church?" MyRead More answer: can't stand it. This incident is just another in its long and bigoted history. During the anti gay lifestyle debacle it gave out copies of the 10 Commandments. That anti gay resolution drafted by Gordon Wysong and enacted by the Cobb Co. Commissioners cost the county an Olympic venue. Whenever I hear about that church I think of the OM who called the church's prominent members The Marietta Mafia!

Its sad, that young people who are gay and often struggle to accept themselves as they are, faceRead More such fury and rejection by a church that preaches love, compassion and forgiveness for most but not all. No wonder many young people, the vast majority of whom are or will be heterosexual find the church increasingly irrelevant in their lives with attitudes like this.
