During the month of September, Sharonville Convention Center welcomed the Ohio Grand Chapter for their Order of the Eastern Star event from September 23rd to September 25th. The Ohio Grand Chapter is “a fraternal organization of men and women that welcomes adults of all ages trying to better themselves and the community around them!” Their mission is to “provide a means by which fraternal and community relationships can be encouraged and improved!” We loved having them here to connect with everyone!
We also hosted the annual Grand Lodge of Ohio, Free and Accepted Masons event from October 14th through October 16th. This event serves to rotate around the state to transition the Grand Master out of their position. The transitioning Grand Master this year was Rich Dickerscheid. Rich was the 165th Grand Master and he held his final dinner with an attendance of 600 people. The Ohio Grand Chapter honored new Grand Master, Tim Wheeland, who is now the 166th Grand Master. His induction dinner included 500 attendees. This is the second time we’ve had the privilege of hosting this large event at the Convention Center. This is an event that not only uses our facility but also utilizes the surrounding hotels for lodging and hospitality rooms. We really enjoy having their events here at the Convention Center and look forward to next time!
