The Editor,

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Rotary Club of Port Moody Shred-a-Thon. Thank you to the community newspapers for getting the word out about our event, to the city of Port Moody for the amazing venue and to Best Shredding for disposing of your private and personal documents.

Rotary does excellent work in the community and around the world but at this fundraiser we had a wonderful surprise. A gentleman came to us, dropped off his documents, gave us a donation and left as all the other people did. But about two hours later, to our surprise, he came back and brought the volunteers coffee and donuts.

Thank you to this good Samaritan. There are wonderful people in our world.

Funds raised from this event will go to assist Port Moody Rotary club with its community projects, including a kids' camp. Every year, we send local kids to Camp Jubilee for one week of fun and games. Saturday's fundraiser will cover the cost of four additional children to camp. That is priceless.
