Partnership Project
The RRS board has been working over the past year looking to expanding our listener base, and maintaining contact with other national organizations who work with the print disabled. At the beginning of this year we renewed contact with the New Zealand Foundation for the Blind, and the Retina Association. These were fruitful meetings and we look forward to keeping in touch and sharing ideas.
We have been upgrading our internet site using streaming audio (listen on line) to improve access and support the expansion of our listener base. Along side of this we are working on the redesign of the website. This will be more user friendly, brighter, and bring us into the 21^st century. Through this newsletter we hope to keep you updated on progress and other items of news,
