Winter/Spring 2005 Distinguished Lecture/Artist Series
Wesley Village is a community of residents and staff committed to the promotion of continual growth in mind, body, and spirit. To this end, a committee was formed in early 1997 to bring some of Kentucky's finest speakers, authors, actors and musicians to the Village for the benefit of both residents and all area seniors.With an air of great excitement, the Village presented its first program on May 20, 1997, with Dr. Thomas C. Clark, Kentucky's Historian Laureate. Continuing in this proud tradition Wesley Village takes great pleasure in presenting to you this Winter/Spring 2005 Distinguished Lecture/Artist Series. We sincerely hope these presentations will continue to enrich the lives of all who attend.

The Honorable Pamela Goodwine
"Overcoming Life’s Obstacles"
Fayette County’s 2001 Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year and former chair of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, Judge Goodwine became the first African American female appointed to the bench in the Lexington area. She became the Chief Regional District Judge in 2002 and was elected in November 2003 to the Fayette Circuit Court, Fourth Division, where she presently continues to serve the community.
A frequent speaker to church and civic groups, Judge Goodwine has an impressive story to tell, drawing from her wealth of experience both personally and professionally. Wesley Village looks forward to hosting this most remarkable and inspiring public servant.
