Workshop: Sponsorship (Sybil W-C 41 yrs)

Sybil W-C giving a workshop in 1982 on Sponsorship, at the time of this workshop she had been sober 41 years and had the distinction of being the first female member of AA on the west coast. 

This is an older recording and I removed much of the noise, its a bit harsh but listenable.

There was another speaker and some Q&A at the end of this that I removed because of a number of homophobic comments made by the other speaker at the workshop, I delieted him entirely. The comments were not made by or echoed by Sybil, she is great but the other guy not so much.
