Summary

Grady OH tells her story at the Intergroup Speaker Meeting held in Fresno California sometime in 1979. Grady has long been one of those speakers I always enjoy and there are a few more speaks by her on the podcast if you would like to hear more from her. Really good quality recording for 1979. LGBT NSFW I have an interesting new event for you listed below, I have been in touch with these folks for a while. They are a small group from Durban South Africa that got started on zoom and are now holding their first in person and Zoom event. These folks raised over $2k to purchase the equipment to do a quality event for folks joining them on zoom. They have a short reg form on the website link below, its free via Zoom. So if you think you might be able to pop in please fill out the form. If this goes well they hope to host it in Johannesburg next year.
