Recording For The Blind & Dyslexic’s Annual Record-A-Thon - April 25, 2008
Lenox — The Berkshire Chapter of Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic® (RFB&D®) is holding the annual Record-A-Thon, a once-a-year, week-long event aimed at increasing awareness of RFB&D’s work providing and promote the effective use of accessible educational materials for students with print disabilities. In addition, the celebration substantially increases audiobook production during the Record-A-Thon week while also providing an open-house opportunity for RFB&D volunteers, staff, and members of the community to work together in our studios to achieve a “stretch” recording goal to benefit our members.
Takes Place May 5 – May 9, 2008
Our goal during the week of the Record-A-Thon is to fill every recording booth, every day from 9 a.m. to 5p.m. Guest readers will join with regular volunteers to produce an increased number of audiobooks during the celebration week. New volunteer will receive ample training in the recording process and staff support.
Volunteer are asked to donate an hour or two. For more information, please call our Production Director, Jeff Owens, at (413) 458-3641. Jeff will be pleased to discuss our Record-A-Thon in greater detail.
