Savannah video producer Michael Jordan will be the keynote speaker at the 39th annual meeting of the Bulloch County Historical Society next week.
    The meeting and dinner will be held in fellowship hall of Statesboro Primitive Baptist Church on South Zetterower Avenue beginning at 6 p.m. Monday.
    Jordan’s presentation will include excerpts from his newest video, “Savannah in the Civil War,” part of the society’s continuing observation of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. The video will be available for purchase by members at the meeting.
    Members can pay for their meal at the door, but those who plan to attend should call Sylvia Harville at (912) 839-5231. Members will elect officers and approve new bylaws among other business slated for the meeting.

    In 2010-2011, Jordan produced and hosted “Rock of the Marne,” a 10-part television series featuring 3rd Infantry Division soldiers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Another Jordan production was “A Call to Arms,” a series featuring Georgia National Guard troops deployed to Afghanistan. The series aired on a Savannah TV station and some of the stories appeared on CBS Atlanta.
