The Courthouse Girls continue to wow audiences around the country. Most recently three of the women, Wanda Grove, Iraida Davis Lietch and Garneta Amburn, along with co-producer Larry Francer and director Norman Klein, traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah for a special screening hosted by the Salt Lake City Film Center on November 17th. After the film we held a panel discussion about historic preservation with local preservation experts and activists and the women were kept busy signing their new calendar for fans afterwards.

Most recently we learned that the film has been accepted into the Heart of Gold International Film Festival in Gympie, Australia in March. We working on finding a way to get a few of us over there for that event.

The women also traveled to Decatur, Illinois recently for a screening of the film at a historic preservation event, and the film was shown in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the National Trust for Historic Preservation's annual conference and has been requested for a historic preservation event in Minnesota next spring.

For those of you in the Santa Fe area, I hope you'll add the film to your festival agenda. It's a fun film that always generates cheers and laughter and makes people feel pretty darned good about the human spirit--especially when it is packaged in seven women who are as charming as they are courageous.

Hope to see you there! Angela
