John Thomas, Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, will present the fascinating story of Anne Connelly, entitled: "Anne Connelly: The Blind Merchant of Burlington" on Sunday, February 11, 2 pm, at the Downtown Burlington High School.
Connelly (1899-1939) came to Vermont as a blind adult, and worked for VABVI, introduced our community to trained guide dogs and white canes, and ran her own business--all while supporting the blind community.
Program presented by the Chittenden County Historical Society,
