Mayor Henry is a Guest Reader at NEIRRS

We've had great success with our annual Guest Reader Month at NEIRRS!  Community leaders join regular reading volunteers to read from the Journal Gazette or News-Sentinel during February.  A few read magazines.  It's a fun way to introduce our service to new people.  Of course we ask them to help us spread the word.  All in all we've had 17 guests and added 4 new readers because they so enjoyed their experience with us.  Mayor Tom Henry was able to join us on Leap Day and really helped us end our month on a high note!


A big thank you to all our Guests -- and another big thank you to our regular volunteers who made that experience so positive!

Guest Reader Month is Heating Up!

Unlike the February forecast, NEIRRS studios are heating up!  We will hold our third annual Guest Reader Month this February and we have some terrific community leaders joining us.  You won't believe it!  Over 14 people have reserved dates so far to read the Journal Gazette or the News-Sentinel with us -- and at least one of them is someone really famous!  

Stay tuned to learn more, and spread the word about NEIRRS.  Help us provide our reading service to more people in 2012 than ever before!  

Sign Up for Guest Reader Month!

February is Guest Reader Month at NEIRRS.  What are Guest Readers?  Just some of the most important readers, ever!  Why?  Because they join us to learn what NEIRRS is all about, and then share their new found knowledge with others.  Sometimes they help influence future donations.  Sometimes they help us find new listeners.  And sometimes they become regular readers at NEIRRS.  It's definitely a win win win!  Oh, I almost forgot to mention that they have a lot of fun bringing the printed word to life for our listeners!  

So if you can read aloud from the local newspapers with some fluency and you have 3 hours to share, call NEIRRS Manager, Lisa Bordner, at 421-1375 and schedule to be a Guest Reader in February.  You'll sit-in with two experienced readers and read along with them, live, on-air.  And you'll learn why reading to people who are blind or print-impaired is fun and rewarding.
