Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic--Now More Convenient

[lillibet]

As many of you know, I have been volunteering for Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic for more than five years now. It is a fantastic organization, with really great people, and you get to spend two hours at a time reading a chunk of a textbook on some random subject that you'd never have reason to think about. Or you can join one of the specialist groups and have the chance to review and deepen your knowledge in that area. It's interesting and fun and--for those of you who are actors--a great opportunity to hone your skills. And, oh yeah, it is a huge help for people who need this service in order to pursue their education.

The Boston Unit has moved to 2067 Mass Ave in Cambridge--the building with Elephant Walk on the ground floor. This puts them within walking distance of many of my flist and I'm really hoping to get more of my friends involved with them. The training is pretty easy and you can be up and reading fast. Call them at 617 577 1111 to make an appointment and tell them I sent you!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I called and they were as excited to schedule me as I was to be part of their adventures. I'm seeing them on Thursday for training (as I've already completed the introduction).

I have volunteered with them and I love it! I must confess, I will be more likely to volunteer more often now that they are so much closer :)
