Did you miss spring cleaning? Do you have a backlog of sensitive documents left over from tax season?
On Saturday, June 14, PEMCO Insurance is offering an opportunity, completely free of charge or obligation, to safely dispose of confidential documents that may be piling up around the house.
Because shredding is one of the simplest ways to prevent identity theft, PEMCO invites the public to bring up to three bags of sensitive documents to the event in front of Lake Forest Park City Hall from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The on-site mobile industrial shredder can handle most documents including paper files, computer disks, magnetic media, audio/visual media, VHS, and microfiche/microfilm.
Youth Council seeks new applicants
Youth who may be interested in advising the state Legislature on legislation and policy matters of importance to them to apply for a seat on the Legislative Youth Advisory Council (LYAC).
This council of 14- to 18-year-olds was established to give the Legislature advice on critical issues related to education, health and fitness, test reform, school safety and other topics related to youth. The council is under charter by the state Legislature through June 2009.
LYAC consists of 22 members who serve two-year terms and if eligible, may be reappointed for subsequent two-year terms. They can meet up to six times a year.
Final appointments are made by the lieutenant governor and are based on recommendations and selection criteria developed by the council itself. LYAC members create the application package and then meet in July to review and score each application. New members are appointed by early August each year.
The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction provides administration, coordination and facilitation assistance to the council, with the state Senate and House of Representatives to provide assistance with fiscal and policy briefings.
New member applications are now being accepted through June 30. The application includes a section for teacher recommendations. The application form can be downloaded from the lieutenant governor’s Web site at www.ltgov.wa.gov/YouthandCommunities/LYAC/
More information about the council can be found on the Web site itself, or by sending an e-mail to lyac@leg.wa.gov.
