We've been busy the last several weeks with weddings and events, but a highlight of our calendar the last couple of months has been hosting the Women's History Month dinner as part of the African Land Forces Summit 2022.

Senior military leaders from the U.S. Army and over 40 African countries met in Columbus the week of March 21-25 to strengthen partnerships and discuss security challenges facing African land forces.

The Rankin Garden, Atrium & Livery was lucky to host the group that Tuesday evening for a banquet honoring women in the armed forces. Thank you so much for letting us host a portion of your event U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa!

Big thanks to Columbus Tape & Video and Prelude Events Studio for all of your work with not just this event, but the conference as a whole!
