With another Rotary shredding fundraising event on its way to South Surrey, signs advertising the event have gone <\/a>missing<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Rotary Club of South Surrey is hosting its biannual Shred-It event this Saturday, May 16, at the Ocean Park Safeway, but once again, the lawn signs letting people know about it have been pilfered.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s ongoing, it\u2019s so frustrating. Those signs cost us about $20 \u2026 I think about six or seven so far this year have gone missing,\u201d said Rotary Club of South Surrey past president Deirdre O\u2019Ruairc, who confirmed it happens each time they hold such events.<\/p>\n She noted the signs have gone missing from random spots throughout Surrey and White Rock, and since both cities have given the club permission to put up the signs, she\u2019s certain it\u2019s not anyone with either city.<\/p>\n \u201cThe thing is all the money raised goes directly to local projects and to \u2014 we have an international project in Cambodia, a children\u2019s orphanage,\u201d O\u2019Ruairc said, sharing that it is disheartening for it to happen to a group that just wants to help others.<\/p>\n Proceeds from the May 16 will go toward that orphanage as well as local groups and organizations, including Sources, their food bank, and the Men\u2019s Shed in South Surrey.<\/p>\n She encouraged anyone who might have taken the signs to bring them back, without repercussions.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a number on the sign and there\u2019s a phone number on the back. They can phone and we can just pick them \u2026 we\u2019d just happy to get them back,\u201d she said. \u201cThe signs are such a visual thing \u2014 people see it and it\u2019s a way (of) getting word out, because the more people that show up for the event, the more money we make (for good causes).\u201d<\/p>\n The upcoming Shred-It event happens in the Ocean Park Safeway parking lot on Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Surrey Rotary\u2019s shredding event signs stolen \u2014 again Published 1:45 pm Wednesday, May 6, 2026 With another…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":652385,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,163792,87674],"class_list":["post-653859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-lower-mainland","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=653859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/652385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=653859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=653859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=653859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
