The Overland Park Convention Center will be hosting the 49th Annual Snow Ball on January 21, 2023. Snow Ball is one of Kansas City’s most memorable charity events that has funded the mission of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas for more than four decades. The black-tie event will include a cocktail reception, delicious dinner, and dancing. Snow Ball is a celebration of volunteers, donors, and the individuals who are served each day by Catholic Charities’ 30+ programs. All event proceeds are earmarked to support the organization’s mission of giving help, hope, and hospitality to the most vulnerable men, women, and children. Visit snowballgala.org to purchase a ticket or table to Snow Ball. Registration closes December 29, 2022.

The MTC Kids Jam concert series is specially designed with families in mind! Join us in the MTC lobby at 10 a.m. for art activities led by the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, followed by a 60-minute concert with an acclaimed children’s musician. This performance tells the story of Clara Net (a clarinet), who meets new instrument friends from around the world and creates new music as the cultures meet. It is accompanied by a new album, recorded on location in Zimbabwe, Czech Republic, China and Turkey as Etkin toured. This project further redefines the creative process by gathering the fruits of these encounters into one album, which tells a tale of friendship and understanding.
