A few weeks ago, RIS honored a number of volunteers who had served 10
and 20 years at the station, providing information access to blind
residents of southwestern Pennsylvania.
Listeners now have the opportunity to show their support for this service.
If you can not attend the event (it's listed below), then why not
encourage a friend to do so and pledge a few dollars for his or her
efforts.
Phone RIS at 412 488-3944 for any needed details.
There will be refreshments and prizes for participants.
