Thirtieth Anniversary Celebration Continues
VIP Guest Readers -- Richmond Metro Area Leaders


In celebration of our 30 years of service to individuals with "print disabilities" throughout Central Virginia, we have invited a number of leaders from our community to lend their voices to our weekly programming. Each guest reader is someone who is important to Virginia Voice and to the Greater Richmond community. This is a special opportunity for our listeners to hear on OUR air the voices of some special individuals whose work affects the lives of all of us throughout Central Virginia. It also affords for these special individuals an opportunity to learn more of what Virginia Voice is all about. 

Each guest is assigned the reading of approximately fifteen minutes of one of our regularly scheduled programs. That program in its entirety is broadcast at its regularly scheduled time. In addition, these programs are being made available online through our Web site. Listen online to our regularly scheduled programs at http://www.virginiavoice.org/programs_on_the_web_alpha.html. Listen to those portions read by our VIP Guest Readers by clicking on the links below.  We'll be adding guests throughout the month of March, so visit this page frequently.
