Kansas City Ballet Guild – Nutcracker Ball

Kansas City Ballet Guild members gathered at the Todd Bolender Center for Dance & Creativity on September 26th to assemble invitations for the Nutcracker Ball, to be held on December 7th at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center. Lynne and Carl Weilert are the chairmen, and Linda and Topper Johntz are serving as the honorary chairmen. Guests will enjoy beautiful holiday decor, a cocktail reception, dinner, a raffle, and dancing to the music of the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra. Proceeds from the Guild’s 57th annual gala support Kansas City Ballet.
