In Observance of Earth Day "Insure" your Data is Destroyed Securely & Sustainably
Earth Day, April 22, 2014 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at
HPM Insurance, 633 Elm Street, Milford.
Does your business have a closet full of old towers, laptops, cell phones or other sensitive IT equipment you no longer use but don't feel safe simply tossing away? If so, HPM Insurance and MetalWave can help.
HPM Insurance is partnering with MetalWave to help "insure" sensitive electronic data and aged IT assets are securely destroyed and responsibly recycled.
MetalWave, a trusted resource for recycling aged IT assets, will collect items like desktops, laptops, cell phones or other outdated IT equipment and provide donor with a receipt on site. Approximately three weeks later, donors will receive a second receipt confirming the recycled items serial number and confirmation of data wipe. Per MetalWave, this process ensures 100% erasure of data files and is compliant with HIPPA laws.
Cost: Free - This event is being brought to business owners courtesy of HPM Insurance and MetalWave. *However there is a slight charge for CRTs and printers
What you have to do to attend:
RSVP with HPM Insurance by emailing april@HPMinsurance.com prior to April 22nd.

Get Mobile Charity Fundraiser
Sunday May 4th, Registration starts at 10 AM, bike race begins at 1 PM
*Ride participants & vendors needed!*
Let's go back to your younger days, your childhood, and remember your first time you felt the freedom to go anywhere and do almost anything. For a lot of us our first taste of freedom was on top of our first two wheeled bicycle, but for many people who were never able to ride a bike, that freedom never came. The Get Mobile ride is a 10-30k benefit ride to help a person with a disability who has never been able to ride a bike get a bike they desperately need, with whatever modifications required to ride it. All proceeds raised go toward the bike cost and adaptations involved.
We are looking for everyone interested to donate $10 and (if you're a cyclist) ride with us on Sunday May 4th through Amherst & Merrimack. We are also looking for vendors who would like to set up a tent in Heritage Place (the location of the event) to promote their services to all cyclists the day of the event.
For more information on the ride and who we're benefitting, please visit getmobileride.com.

Sponsored by Acupuncture & Everything Wellness, Allied Plumbing & Heating, LegalShield, and Maverick's Square.
