Alphapointe Matters

Alphapointe Association for the Blind is the largest employer of the blind and visually impaired in the state of Missouri. And one of the biggest rehabilitation and training centers in the entire Midwest.
Here's a kind of longish 9-minute short I produced for my good friends at KCPT's "The Local Show". Thanks again.
Incidentally, it doesn't have a canned chord in it. The first music-free video I've made in a while...


Here's the station's press release:

For 100 years now, Alphapointe Association for the Blind has been
providing people with vision loss the support, training and skills
they need to work, live and be independent. This Thursday, October
27th at 7:30 pm on 19.1 HD, KCPT's primetime public and cultural
affairs program, THE LOCAL SHOW, takes viewers inside of this special
organization, which is the largest single employer of visually
impaired individuals, employing 176 people, and it is the only
comprehensive rehabilitation and education agency for people with
vision loss in the state of Missouri, serving over 4,000 individuals.
Workers at Alphapointe produce everything from office supplies to
pharmacy pill bottles and provide products for such companies as 3M
and Boulevard Brewery, just to name a few. To mark their special
centennial birthday, Alphapointe is celebrating with a special concert
and party featuring Grammy-Award winners the Blind Boys of Alabama on
November 12th at the Midland Theatre in downtown Kansas City, MO.
