Plymouth Lions Club Donation Helps Support Talking Information Center's Print Subscriptions & Programming
TIC is a non-profit reading service which broadcasts 24 hours a day to visually impaired and print impaired listeners across Massachusetts.
Talking Information Center (TIC), the non-profit reading service based in Marshfield, MA, which broadcasts 24 hours a day to visually impaired and otherwise print disabled listeners throughout Massachusetts, would like to thank the Plymouth Lions Club for their generous donation and ongoing support.
The Plymouth Lions Club has donated $1,000 to TIC to support their print subscription drive and programming.
With thousands of blind/visually impaired, senior and veteran listeners statewide, TIC provides informational, entertaining broadcasts that just aren't available elsewhere. TIC broadcasts newspapers, magazines, books, special consumer information, medical and stock market updates, jobs, sports, supermarket specials, voting guides, community newspapers, and more, operating with the help of more than 200 volunteers in their Marshfield studio.
Print subscriptions are the heart of TIC programming as they provide the content that volunteers read. TIC subscribes to more than 60 newspapers and magazines every year, and donations help to cover the cost of these subscriptions.
“Our missions are similar. Both of our organizations have a long history of improving the lives of sight impaired individuals,” noted James Bunnell, Executive Director of TIC. "We are very grateful to the Plymouth Lions Club for their donation and their ongoing support."
The Plymouth Lions Club serves the local community by undertaking activities that support the eradication of preventable blindness and projects that benefit and support the needs of all people living in the Greater Plymouth Area.
