"Ordinary life isn't just the hardest kind to lead, it's the best..Glive James We have many to be proud of this month. EllenHarrington has been named special events and exhibits coordinator for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Yes, that's right, she's an Oscar girl now.

At the Academy, Ellen will be responsible for special events and the development of in-house exhibitions.
