Jewel Ball Party – Lunch and Labor

Jewel Ball floor committee members and escorts gathered for Lunch and Labor at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City on June 4th.  Guests took tours of two Ronald McDonald Houses and heard talks by Holly Buckendahl, Angie LaRose Witt and Megan Harding, all with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City.  After a Mexican buffet, the group went to work, doing tasks that included loading trucks, taking inventory and sweeping floors.  Everyone left with a sense of satisfaction at a job well done.  Chase Hodge, Cole Jurden, Duncan Laner, Max Perryman, and Jack Starr were the hosts.
