Heartland Men’s Chorus’ annual Dinner of Note, “The Queen and Mad Hatter’s Ball,” was held on October 28th at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center. The creative evening was conceptualized by Chorus Members Will Brown and Bobby Kyser, and guests enjoyed fabulous cocktails, a delicious dinner, silent and live auctions, and tunes spun by D.J. Sushiman from South Florida. Chris Beal and Tim Van Zandt were the honorary chairmen, and Jenny Harris and Brian Larios served as the co-chairmen.
