About the Widder's Ball
Since time immemorial (or at least since someone thought it was a good idea), E Clampus Vitus has dedicated itself to the care of widows and orphans. The Widder's Ball is our opportunity to honor the Widders in our community and celebrate the charitable mission that lies at the heart of our order.
This is an evening to dress up (or at least dress better than usual), enjoy fine company, and remember why we do what we do!
What to Expect

Credo Quia Absurdum!
