Guest speakers from Oak Hill...

Ana Maria Mitchell and Trish Heslin of the Oak Hill School were the guest speakers at the luncheon meeting of August 1.

Per the organization's website, "Oak Hill was founded in 1893 by Emily Wells Foster, a Sunday school teacher in Hartford, to provide the means through which blind children could lead lives defined by their achievements. Since that time, Oak Hill has kept pace with, and been responsive to, the changing needs of people with disabilities. Today, Oak Hill provides services and solutions for children and adults with varying disabilities so they can live as independently as possible and be contributing, productive members of their communities."

Oak Hill has two facilities in Southington that are part of its Residential Program.
