Last Saturday, Jan 18th, the Kansas City Region held it’s annual Awards Banquet at the American Legion in Overland Park, KS. 121 members enjoyed a slideshow of photos from the 2013 season and some historic club photos during the cocktail hour and dinner. The club also held a silent auction for a variety of items donated by members and the Club’s commercial partners which brought in a total of $634. Dale Leuck took a number of photos of the banquet and the award winners. Look for his images in the next issue of Checkpoint.
