The BOTAR Ball – Class of 2022 BOTAR Reveal

On August 25th, members of the BOTAR Class of 2022 gathered for the BOTAR Reveal. Miniature bottles of wine served as place cards at the festive event, which was held at the lovely home of Courtney O’Farrell. Each BOTAR had the same question: “Who will my escort be?” By the time the evening was over, their questions had been answered. The co-chairs of the committee were Anna Frame and Emily McCann. The BOTAR Ball will take place on October 15th at the Muehlebach Tower of the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. This year’s BOTAR president is Amy Polen.

Julie Jones and Katie Wiedeman scrutinized the clues about their escorts.

 

Jodie Stallard addressed the BOTARs.
