Municipal Agent Notes By John Sullivan

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS BLIND OR

VISION IMPAIRED?

Connecticut Radio Information Service (CRIS) is a pri-

vate, non-profit organization that broadcasts live read-

ing from current newspapers and magazines on FM ra-

dio and cable TV to people who cannot read the printed

page due to visual impairment or other disabilities. To

sign up someone contact CRIS, 315 Windsor Ave,

Windsor CT 860-527-8000 or 800-708-0004. You can

also contact Board of Education and Service for the

Blind (BESB), 184 Windsor Ave, Windsor CT 860-602

-4000. If the person is not registered with BESB for

services, his/her application must be filled out by an

eye doctor. Also, the person needs to see a licensed

occupational therapist for an evaluation. Once regis-

tered the person will be supplied with a special radio

capable of receiving closed circuit broadcasts from

CRIS. There is no charge for this service. Anyone in

the area needing help in obtaining a special radio for a

visually-impaired person can call Low Vision Center,

975 Farmington Ave., Bristol, CT 06010 Phone 1-860-

5289-3587. PLEASE NOTE: The Center is open for

low vision help only, Mondays between 1&2pm, and

only by appointment. Volunteer Opportunities: Right

now, CRIS has sufficient number of on-air readers in

English. They could use Spanish-speaking persons

who are articulate and would be agreeable to an audi-

tion. Also they are looking for Internet savvy people to

do on-line searches. Best Regards, John

Senior Citizens Club News Club Social will be held on Friday, March 4th

Doors open at 5pm. Thank you! Betty Ellis
