Biographical / Historical

The local chapter “Greater Lehigh Valley” PFLAG started in the early 1990’s; no records of the early days exist. Early members included Verda Keenan, Helen Early, and Roberta and Harold Krieder. The chapter served Lehigh, Northampton and portions of adjacent counties. In the late 1990’s, Reading was added and the name was changed to Eastern Pennsylvania – PFLAG. Then in about 2001, Monroe County was added to the chapter. The result was a chapter that served, Berks, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and portions of adjacent counties. Originally monthly meetings were held in the Allentown/Bethlehem Area, Reading and Monroe County.
