Five words that describe Johannah: Funny, progressive, passionate, lover of learning, traveler

Donovan was born at the Bishop DeGoesbriand Hospital in Burlington on a late summer evening to Bernard Leddy and Johannah Mahoney. She eventually became a classic middle child with an older sister and brother and a younger brother and sister. Her family lived in the new north end on Staniford Road in a developing neighborhood, so there was aways action and new neighbors to meet. At the age of five she was enrolled at Thayer School afternoon session and she walked to school alone. An early lesson in independence.

From CVOEO:

The Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) hosts Community Action Day to help revitalize Champlain Street Park, one of the few remaining public green spaces in Burlington’s South End neighborhood. The event offers the community an opportunity to come together in recognition of Earth Day and Fair Housing Month.

Community members come together to hear about how housing security and community agency in the spaces they live contribute to thriving, inclusive communities. Fair Housing Project team members share a brief introduction to Fair Housing Month, and highlight other Fair Housing Month community conversations and activities for people to plug into. Participants enjoy lunch, conversations about housing inclusion, and help clean up the park. HeART & Home Kits are available as well! Join us for this moment of caring for this community space.
