We hired a professional videographer to shoot a video for us to use in social media to Amplify Marietta Rotary in our community. The goal of the video is to be able to use it in its entirety and to be able to use it in very short segments for Facebook, TikTok, etc. The video will feature Rotarians saying who they are, why Rotary is important to them, and what Rotary does in the community. We shot the video on 2/28 and will have the video to review within two weeks.
