Sorting and shredding!

The volunteer position this week involved several different assignments.  One of those was involving sorting the multitudinous permits by their numbers, then by the parks they were issued in, and entering this info into the computer spreadsheet, and storing the sorted permits into the filing cabinets.  All the left over extraneous paperwork was then shredded.

Each folder had to have a label made and inserted into the folder.

The labels were center left of the photo, and I used three containers full of them!

Drawers and drawers of files needing to be sorted.

Part of the equation was that during the process of sending the permits to the parks, the dates they were sent out  had to be entered, and the ranger who received them had to sign for them.

The various papers needed to legalize the non profit status of a group was collected in folders, and there were many copies in each file, as the paperwork was revised and signed, then revised again, etc.  So, going through the papers, and sorting out the final signed papers from all the rest was paramount. After all that sorting was done, the remaining papers were filed in a certain order and placed in special folders, then refiled in the cabinets.

This is a partial stack of the volunteers who are no longer active.

Hope this description wan't too boring for you.  It was very interesting for me on this end of the story.

The shredder got a workout too!
