Ohio Valley Celebrates 2024 Winter Social
The Ohio Valley District of IAOM hosted its inaugural Winter Social Meeting February 9 in Indianapolis.
Guests checked in to the beautiful Bottleworks Hotel. This bucket list hotel has a rich history and impeccable art deco decor. Members and their guests were treated to a wonderful reception and meal, followed by an improv show at Clowe’s Hall on the Butler University campus. The evening ended with some fun at Pins Bar located adjacent to the hotel. Attendees mingled, played games and had great conversations as they got to know each other a little better.
Thank you to all who attended and we look forward to next year’s event.
