Grapevine Podcast: The Language of the Heart [Season 9, Episode 7]
Don, Olis and Sam report on their wonderful experiences at the 2025 International Convention in Vancouver. Don took in the convention and described the scenes, and with microphone in hand interviewed over a dozen participants: April, Bob, Callie, Catherine, Chris, Evan, Galrous, Kenneth, Marty, Melinda, Michelle, Miles, and Nick. We finish with Sam reading an excerpt from the closing talk by Scott, our General Service Board Chair.
