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.
