Audrey B. Blondin will receive the Citizen of the Law Award at the CBA’s annual awards celebration, Celebrate with the Stars, on Wednesday, July 22. She has practiced law in the Torrington and Litchfield area for more than 35 years, and her primary areas of practice include real estate, wills, estate planning and probate, juvenile, family, and animal law.
Attorney Blondin serves as the co-founder and secretary/treasurer of VOSH-Connecticut (Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity). For nearly two decades, she and her husband have organized and run an eye care clinic in Nicaragua providing services to over 40,000 patients. This past June, they held an eye care mission in Emporia, VA and provided service to over 400 patients. Attorney Blondin oversaw this mission, including volunteer and site organization, clinic supplies and distribution, and supervised between 50-100 volunteers on site. With the help of her husband, she continues to carry out the mission of VOSH.
The Citizen of the Law Award is presented to a judge, attorney, or paralegal who has made a significant contribution to a charitable or public service cause that does not involve professional legal skills, but provides inspiration and contributes to the needy, the good of society, the environment, or our way of life.
