We’re planning another fantastic suite this year!   We’d like the suite to be open from 6:00 pm – 1:00 am, or even later if people are hanging out and we have a volunteer willing to be in charge.

Your support helps keep the suite stocked with snacks, bevers, ribbons, laughs, late-night conversations, and all the little touches that turn the HELL’s M’s suite into a HELL’s M’s party.

If you are a connoisseur of fine wine who marvels in the bouquet of the cork, swirls vintage grapes in crystal stemware before savoring the complex flavor on your sophisticated pallet, this tasting is not for you.    

In February, we asked you to vote on new swag options in the Booteak! With about 20 people responding to our Facebook and website polls, our most-voted swag options were...

Last year, Long John Massura and Mary Lee Kemper, with Virginia Plottel, hosted PLAY in Sharonville, OH. We had space for 40 people. We played games of all kinds for 4.5 days. We had a BLAST! And now for PLAY AGAIN!

Switching our swag to an online, one-off service means faster delivery, better quality, and a much bigger selection of HELL's M's swag—reducing our need to manage inventory. More choices, less work, happier M's, right? Cast your vote now!
