Jewel Ball Party – Casino Royale

Casino Royale, a party for Jewel Ball debutantes, floor committee members and escorts was held on June 3rd at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza.  Guests enjoyed a buffet supper of salad, pasta, sliders, and a delicious dessert.  After that, the casino opened – and the games of blackjack, roulette and craps began!  A photo booth replete with props allowed everyone to take home a souvenir.  The hosts were Lauren Bleakley, Margaret Brill, Becca Clay, Ellie Kessinger, Megan Klugman, Nicole Luby, and Sally Schoenfeld.
