The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce hosted local filmmaker Gideon Fisher at its October breakfast meeting for a program on the ways video can preserve memories of places and people that are important to us.

The film We'll Remember Thee: An Arlington, Ohio School Documentary was the centerpiece of Fisher's presentation.

He also asked the audience to participate in an interactive Q&A session where they could supply Bluffton topics that would warrant preservation with video.
