Summary

Neil is the 10 minute opening speaker telling some of his story, then Connie is sharing her story for the next 30 min or so. This is a meeting from the North Oakland AA Open speaker meeting held in February of 2018. I just added the Crested Butte Montana Conference to the events list, this is a 5 day event and it sells out every year.
