Having been a member of Canberra PUG while I was in Canberra 2019-2022,
and knowing Jonah and Elena personally, I wish to add a statement of
support to this Grant Application. Jonah and Elena are good people,
Canberra PUG does good work, has great events, supports a pipeline for
LA events, and I recommend LA support this Grant Application.
Kind regards,
Kathy Reid
