Alphapointe Association for the Blind and the Kansas Audio Reader Network have announced a new partnership that expands the coverage of readings of local newspapers available to people who are visually impaired. The Kansas Audio Reader Network is a free radio reading service for the visually impaired living in Kansas and western Missouri. With this new partnership, volunteers will record 10 hours of news from local papers each week at the Alphapointe Studios. There will be a ribbon cutting and reception on May 14 at 3:00pm at the Alphapointe Life Skills Campus at 7501 Prospect to celebrate this new partnership.
