THANK YOU!
We had a wonderful gathering of friends March 15th. Listeners, volunteers and IRIS supporters shared an evening of fun and friendship! Thank you so much to everyone who helped with this event. From the raffle to "Cake Ball" to just having a chance to chat, it was an evening we'll remember. AND we think we should do it more often - so keep your ears peeled for announcements about an IRIS cookout sometime in mid-June. We'll keep you posted as we set a date!

IRIS DELIVERS ACCESS TO INFORMATION
IRIS is a free news and information service that broadcasts 24 hours a day, every day of the year to thousands of listeners throughout Iowa. Each day, volunteers in seven locations across the state sit down in front of an IRIS microphone and read aloud from their local newspapers. These dedicated volunteers, over 300 strong, are the voices that help keep our listeners connected to their communities.
IRIS broadcasts readings from current newspapers, magazines and other publications. We also broadcast national publications like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, People, Sports Illustrated, Reader's Digest, Oprah and more.
The Iowa Radio Reading Information Service for the Blind and Print Handicapped (IRIS) exists to bring the world of information to
Iowans who cannot access the printed word because of blindness, visual or physical impairment or learning difference.
