Each year, the Great Ralls Rotary Club teams up with Montana Business Archives to provide discounted shredding services. People brought their personal and confidential documents to be shredded.

Rotary Club member Cari Yturri explained, “Rotary is an amazing international organization. They are apolitical, areligious, and they just try to always keep keep working on relationships and building trust and hopefully with that will we will eradicate polio throughout the world.”
The annual event usually raises between $3,000 and $4,000.
