In
Memory of Jim Cashin
The staff and volunteers at the Georgia Radio Reading
Service acknowledge the passing on Thursday, June 11th, of
Jim Cashin, co-founder of GaRRS, our first Executive
Director, and the leader of our organization for more than
20 years.
Jim was the force behind GaRRS' incorporation and
its lasting vision of bringing the printed word to blind and
visually-impaired Georgians through volunteer readers and
special radios. We are grateful for the legacy that Jim
Cashin leaves us and for his many contributions to our
organization, to our community, and to our state. We offer
our sincere condolences to his family.
At the request of Jim's family, donations in his memory may
be sent to:
