The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

I was mostly able to read this. I'm stuck on a couple of points:
In the Aug 26th entry, does she say, "Put bite on me for malts." ? I don't know if "bite" is some old slang or if I'm reading it wrong.
The Sep 13th entry: "Encouraged by good fortune sent questions to 25 other ??? programs." It looks like "ques" but maybe it's supposed to be quest?
Is she sending questions to 'quiz' programs?
Thesaurus.com says "put the bite on" means "seek charity," and has such synonyms as 'scrounge,' 'mooch,' 'nick,' and 'ding,'
Ok, the quiz thing seems completely obvious now. *facepalm*
Thanks!
Yes, "Put the bite on someone" means to make someone else pay for something.
