This is the first ever “virtual” video event attempted by the Highground and to say there has been a steep learning curve is an understatement! Through the generous donation of funds to gather the necessary equipment and “learning as we go” on how to create and present these videos, we are able to start compiling what we hope will become an interesting and valuable video archive. We will continue to fine-tune our videos and we hope that you come back often to view our ever-growing collection.
Thank you to all the brave interviewees, presenters, and donors! In special recognition for kick-starting this program is a donation from the family of Marliss J Collinson. It is through their generosity in her honor that we were able to begin upon this new chapter in our mission.
