It is with a heavy heart that I update this blog to report that Ermel Gordon, our Miss July, passed away May 22nd from injuries sustained in a fall at her home. Ermel would have been 98 in July. She was so cute and so spunky--we will all miss her a lot. There is more about her on our Web site, www.courthousegirls.com.
We are off to Toronto, Canada for a screening at the ReelHeART International Film Festival (RHIFF) on June 24th. Five of the women are going--they all got their passports and are excited about making the trip. If anyone reading this is in the Toronto area, please join us that evening beginning at 7:15 pm. Seniors get in for free! Details about the screening can be found at www.reelheart.com and on our site.
Best, Angela

The Fine Art (and Angst) of Blogging
Greetings from all of us at Courthouse Girls of Farmland. A friend's blogging prowess has convinced me I need to be more "with it" when it comes to blogging. After a blogging etiquette goof and a reluctance to write frequently, I am determined to keep this blog current. So here we are to date:
The girls were a huge hit at the SENE festival in Providence and the film won the Audience Choice, Best Documentary award. Next up is a trip to Toronto, Canada for our Canadian premiere at the ReelHeART International Film Festival (RHIFF). If any of you who might be reading this live near Toronto, please put us on your agenda for Wednesday, June 24th at 7:15 pm. Our film is screening in ReelHeART Main Program "A" in Innis Town Hall, Innis College, 2 Sussex Street, U of T campus, Toronto M5S 1J5 (one block south of St. George subway). Tickets are $10 ($5 for seniors) and are available online at www.reelheart.com.
Five of the women are traveling to Toronto from Farmland with co-producers Larry and Jerome and my sister Anne (who keeps us organized). I'm going as well. The festival moved us to their main venue (i.e. bigger) so we really need to attract attention and fill those seats. Please feel free to pass along this information to friends and family members who may live near Toronto. Ciao, Angela

Australia, New England and Beyond
Onward we trek as Courthouse Girls of Farmland continues to gain fans around the world. In March Angela and husband Jim will be in Gympie, Australia for the Heart of Gold International Film Festival and first of April five of the women (Garneta, Eileen, Iraida, Mary Ellen and Wanda) are traveling to Providence, RI for the SENE Film, Music & Arts Festival. Larry and Anne will be going with them and meeting up with Norm who now resides in Swampscott, MA. Eileen has mended from her broken hip and is back on the circuit. You really just cannot keep these vivacious bridge players down for long.
