To improve the quality of life for the vision and print impaired by providing print materials in an audio format is the mission statement of the Southeastern North Carolina Radio Reading Service Inc. Their Executive Director is Kimberly Durden and she was the guest speaker at last weeks Lion’s Club meeting. She stated that there are over two hundred reading services nation wide and SENCRRS broadcasts over a sub-frequency of the Fayetteville State University FM station. They also have recording studios at Sandhills and Central Carolina Community Colleges.
To receive the signal you will need a specially tuned receiver which is provided free of charge for those in need. Individuals or businesses can adopt-a-radio for as little as twenty-five dollars. SENCRRS is a 501(c) organization and broadcast over a sixty mile radius, twenty-four hours a day seven days a week. The Sanford Herald Newspaper is read on air from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Monday and Wednesday and from 12:30 to 1:00 pm on Saturday. They also read magazines, novels, and have specialized programs geared toward young adults and senior citizens.
The 2008 edition of the Lee Regional Fair is just a month away and preparations for the fair are in high gear. Marvin Joyner reported on the catalogue sales and John Cole reminded members of the agricultural exhibits which must be sorted and judged before the fair opens. District Governor Dave Martin reported that Miss North Carolina would be unable to attend the fair due to a national engagement but will be in Sanford October 14th.
President John Walden presented Jimmy Bridges with a Life Membership to the Lion’s Club which was given to him by the International Board of Directors. Richard Henley led the pledge of allegiance to the flag and Wendell McGee gave the invocation and introduced the speaker.
