Learning Ally’s Record-A-Thon Event A Success Due to Generous Donations

To the Editor:

The Princeton recording studio of Learning Ally held its annual Record-A-Thon the week of May 13 to 17 at its facilities on Roszel Road in West Windsor. Our dedicated volunteers from all over New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania put in extra hours to record, check, and edit hundreds of hours of audio and hybrid audio/e-books for Learning Ally’s members who cannot effectively read standard print due to a visual impairment or print disability such as dyslexia.

As in past years, this event would not be a success without generous donations of food and refreshment from our Princeton-area business community including Alchemist and Barrister of Princeton, On the Border of West Windsor, Hoagie Haven of Princeton, Slice of Princeton, The Bent Spoon of Princeton, McCaffrey’s of West Windsor, Wegman’s of West Windsor, Brother’s Pizza of West Windsor, Salt Creek Grille of Plainsboro, Medical Packaging, Incorporated of Ringoes, and Business Bistro of New Brunswick.

Since our inception in the area as Recording for the Blind, we would never have been able to positively impact the educational and professional careers of thousands of people across the country without the continued support of the Princeton-area business community. For all of the volunteers, staff, and members of Learning Ally, we thank you for you continued generosity.
