The 2019 BOTAR Ball
Old-fashioned Hollywood glamour and the pastel tones of Palm Beach set the vibe for the 70th BOTAR Ball. The event, which featured the presentation of BOTARs and escorts (and the darling little pages!) was held on October 19th at the Muehlebach Tower of the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. Mandy McKee Burditt served as president.
