Posts have been getting creative with going about business as usual, during this most unusual time. Post 43 Commander, Jennifer Campbell is both creative and unusual in this May edition of the Post 43 Monthly Commander’s Message. If you pay close attention, you’ll notice particular details.
Other ideas to use technology to keep Posts engaged include virtual bar/social nights. There are groups using the Netflix Party Chrome extension to have movie nights with text chat in a side panel. Some Posts are having meetings via Zoom. There has also been more activity on social media, too. To date, we are unaware of any TikTok challenges, but would love to share those, too.
If your Post is using technology to stay engaged with the membership, and with the Community, State and Nation, please share in the comments.
