Military Ball
The Military Ball was started in 1997 as a way to honor and remember veterans in the Santa Barbara area. It is a beautiful black-tie event that features a cocktail hour, gourmet dinner, a keynote speaker, and swing dancing. All branches of the military are represented by both veterans and active duty personnel. Past keynote speakers include retired US Senator Bob Dole and TV journalist and author Tom Brokaw.

The 17th Annual Military Ball is scheduled for Saturday, November 10, 2012 at Fess Parker's DoubleTree Resort at 5:00 pm.
