STANDING OVATIONS FOR "GIRL FROM BIRCH CREEK"



In November and December we held two sneak previews for "Girl from Birch Creek."  We received standing ovations at each showing.  Our first showing was at Marcus Theaters in Oakdale.  Over 500 people attended; we gave short speeches and served appetizers and popcorn, of course.  The film was extremely well received and comments were wonderful!!!  The second showing was at William Mitchell College of Law and we were so happy that Justice Rosalie Wahl and family members were able to attend.

Victory!!!!

In January, we showed the film to a gathering of Minnesota Women Lawyers and students from William Mitchell College of Law.  The response was wonderful, and the panel of women judges and lawyers moderated by Lori Sturdevant shared many insights and great stories about women's struggle for equality in the judicial system.
