BARBOURSVILLE LIONS CLUB
MAY 25, 2010

Lion Ashley N. Hesson, a member of the Barboursville Lions Club, was the guest speaker this evening. Lion Ashley, who is 19 years of age, just completed her second year of college. She is a Marshall University student who attended American University in Bulgaria this past semester. She traveled extensively throughout Europe before the semester started and during spring break. Some of the places that she visited were England, Ireland, Germany, France, Egypt, and Italy. She saw the Pope, who blessed the crowd in nine different languages.  She witnessed the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace and viewed the Coliseum in Rome.  She took a Camel ride in Cairo; rode the waterways of Venice; toured Munich, Germany; saw a huge fireworks display in Paris; and sampled the many varieties of food throughout Europe.

Lion Ashley is the granddaughter of Lions Roger and Bernice Hesson, who are very proud of her!
