Welcome to the 36th Ohio Regimental Military Ball!

The Committee would like to thank all of you for attending the 35th  Anniversary of the ORMB at the Sheraton Suites, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on February 17,  2024, and making the Ball successful and memorable.

The Ohio Regimental Military Ball Committee cordially invites you to our 36TH Annual Ball to be held at the beautiful Sheraton Suites, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on February 15, 2024. This venue has enchanted our Ball in addition to the new Presenters and Topics, Cuisine & Sutlers, Silent Auction,  and Fashion Show!  We look forward to your attendance in the celebration of the Blue & Gray!

On behalf of the Committee, the following is a common sense statement, but one that should be understood: The ORMB cannot assume responsibility for the health of any of our attendees whether referencing Covid-19 or any other communicable disease. As is common knowledge,  vaccinated individuals can still contract Covid-19. When worn correctly, proper medical masks can be helpful to some degree to reduce the transmission of viruses and bacteria, but should not give anyone a false sense of security. Attendance is a completely voluntary act, and you must exercise prudence based upon your own individual health status, needs, and beliefs. Thank you, and we hope to see you on the 15th!

CASH BAR available only in Beau’s Lounge throughout the evening for the Ball and Afterglow!

No outside food or alcohol permitted at our Event per State Law:  Breakout Presenter Rooms, Ballroom and at the Afterglow (Snacks available)

3rd ANNUAL SILENT AUCTION
 
The ORMB committee is excited to start preparing for the 3rd annual silent auction!
If you own a business and would like to donate a gift certificate…if you have a special item or two that is ready for a new home…please let me know if you would like to donate an item or two. (Valerie Hamil:  614-361-1717)
We’re looking for gift certificates for services or products, gift baskets, etc. Are you willing to have a group of six into your home to enjoy a home-cooked meal you’ve prepared especially for them? A special piece of art, a book collection or piece of jewelry? A week’s stay in a timeshare? A quilt with a story? An extra uniform or dress that you no longer need?
The auction will help raise funds to defray ORMB event expenses and keep costs to event participants to a minimum. Your donation is greatly appreciated and the funds raised go directly to help defray event costs for everyone!
Please contact me or a member of the committee to donate.
Thank you for your support!
