The Commander at Hollywood Post 43 regularly does a monthly blog message to members. During the pandemic, these messages have a greater impact. The videos have always meant to inform and provide transparency to the whole 43 Legion Family.
Typically, these would be shot at the Post with a small crew. This one had to be shot at home and Ms. Campbell was ready to be information, and casual. Ryan Pratt, 1st Vice Commander, Squadron 43 of the Sons of the American Legion, directed and edited this video, as a one-man film crew.
Both Jennifer and Ryan say that they had a lot of fun with this, but still communicated the messages that needed to get out.
What is your Post doing to stay connected with members, during this time when you can’t physically meet?
