Lyric Opera Circle’s Spring Luncheon was held on May 7th at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza. Hosts Gail Van Way and Juliette Singer Spinks planned the event, and Craig Sole Designs provided the beautiful florals. Anne Elsberry and Carmen Sabates were pinned for their 25 years of service to the Circle. The 2018-19 officers were installed, and Outgoing President Kimberlee Ried passed the gavel to Incoming President Tricia Scott.
