Ladies and Gentlemen, the ball is at hand!

It is now time to purchase your tickets for this anticipated event!  We are looking forward to seeing you all on Friday, December 30th, 2011, from 6:00pm to 11:00pm.  You may purchase your tickets on this site.  Please take the time to read the information provided on these pages to ensure a pleasant evening for all.  Check the website often as the date draws near.

Please remember that ladies and gentlemen must wear gloves, and wear appropriate and modest attire.

Light refreshments will be served.  Please be sure to have your evening meal before you arrive.

A photographer will be on hand to record the evening’s memories.  A disc holding approximately 350 photos will be available after the ball for a very reasonable price through the website.  We ask that you please refrain from photography during the ball; however you may take photos before and after.

Directions to the Ocean City Yacht Club will be on this website soon.  You may also use the address to search your favorite map program, such as mapquest.com

Parents may peek in and join you afterwards; however, we ask that those who do not have tickets, and who are not in period dress remain out of the building until the ball is over.  Thank you for observing this!

Any questions, please refer to the left side of this page.

If you have an emergency the night of the ball, our cell phone number is 609-816-3141.

A final note:  During times of war, the balls were held to aid the soldiers.  In keeping with this, at the ball you will be able to donate to a fund that will be used to buy Gideon Bibles for our troops overseas.  If you intend to donate, please remember to bring the amount in cash to the ball. To read more, visit the Balls and Wars section of this website.

See you very soon!

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Abraham Lincoln, November 19, 1863, The Gettysburg Address.
