Chambert Welcomes My Legacy Videos


The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce welcomes My Legacy Videos to the community. Mike and Alicia Strain have started this personalized video service to help others celebrate their life story. Honor history with a unique and cutting edge way to document your family history or life memories in a creative, heartfelt, and everlasting video that can be shared with generations to come.

Each video and package is customizable to fit any budget or need. There are a variety of memorabilia that you can include in your movie like photos, slides, home movies, interviews of family and friends, and complimentary music. Storytelling is very powerful and these videos offer an opportunity to never lose one ever again.

Being able to see someone tell a story is more meaningful than flipping through a scrapbook or photo album. My Legacy Video will come to your home or find an environment that is comfortable for the interviewees. A home setting may spur many other memories and allow the interviewee the opportunity to be in their element.

To kick off their company, the Strain’s have taken on a very honorable cause; Life After Service: North Idaho Veterans. This project has two purposes. First, it is to help Veterans understand the resources they have available to them in our small community. Secondly, they hope to inform the general public about our local Veterans, how they can support Veterans, and how Veterans give back to the community. The overall goal is to carryout this project in other communities throughout the northwest.

However, this project needs help launching and you can help. There are less than 20 days to help make this video for Veterans a real and obtainable resource. To learn more and to contribute, visit www.kickstarter.com/profile/lifeafterservice.

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce wishes My Legacy Videos success and is pleased they have joined our community. For more information, visit www.mylegacyvideos.com or call 208-290-8182. To contribute to the Life After Service project, go to your local Mountain West Bank or their Kick Starter website.
