If you're doing some spring cleaning, organizing and clearing out unnecessary financial documents would be a good errand to add to the list.

Check out the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland's Secure Your ID Day from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, April 17 at The Avenue at White Marsh.
The event offers ...
... free community shredding (up to three boxes) as well as identity theft prevention resources and discounts at The Avenue's restaurants. The event will take place rain or shine.
