The Holmes Society For Wayward Ashbaughs recently hosted another weekend retreat for an Ashbaugh. And this was no typical Holmes Society weekend. Normally a Holmes Society weekend may consist of a pizza and a movie, a visit to a favorite restaurant, an escorted shopping trip, unlimited Internet surfing time, or even a special baking or cooking class. But this weekend featured a special, one time opportunity to rescue a damsel in distress. Besides the mystery and intrigue of the rescue, this opportunity included a luxurious 5 hour motor coach ride, two opportunities for a deluxe burger, great phone conversation, and special one on one therapy session with the societies director of programs; LoriAnn.

Although the damsel in distress weekend experience may have been a success, Director LoriAnn reported that she doesn't expect the event to happen again.
