BOTAR – Parent Welcome Party

Merrie and David Costello’s lovely home was the setting for the BOTAR Parent Welcome Party on August 24th. BOTAR parents learned more about upcoming events, while enjoying cocktails and appetizers, including shrimp cocktail shooters and crostini bites. Husbands of BOTAR executive committee members served as bartenders. Everyone is eagerly awaiting The BOTAR Ball, which will be held on October 21st at the Muehlebach Tower of the Kansas City Marriott Downtown.
