The 66th BOTAR Ball

It was a picture perfect evening for the 66th BOTAR Ball  on October 24th at the Muehlebach Tower of the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. Guests enjoyed cocktails, a delicious dinner, gorgeous flowers by Studio Dan Meiners, and fabulous music and entertainment by David Basse and the City Light Orchestra along with The Karen Davis Project. The BOTARs looked beautiful in their gowns that were each custom made by Mary Neddo. The lovely presentation and an outstanding performance of the traditional waltz by the BOTAR class capped off the very special event that will be remembered for years to come. Cathy Fligg Frame served as the president.
