Kansas City Ballet Guild – Nutcracker Luncheon
The Carriage Club was the site for Kansas City Ballet Guild’s annual Nutcracker Luncheon, which was held on December 15th. John Livingston played holiday classics on the piano. The decorations included a variety of nutcrackers (available for purchase!). Jeffrey Bentley, Kansas City Ballet, spoke about the Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. President Melissa Ford presented gifts to executive committee members. Angela and John Walker received a round of applause for their stewardship of the Nutcracker Ball. Last, but not least, everyone left with a box of chocolates as a sweet souvenir.
