The Labor-Management Council of Greater Kansas City hosted more than 150 governmental, business and labor leaders at its annual Public Officials Reception Oct. 9 at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.  Photos from the event are in the album at left, 2014 Public Officials Reception. 

Elected and appointed public officials from all levels of government, both states and both parties gathered to network in the spectacular Kauffman Center.  And many attendees stayed after the reception to see a dress rehearsal of Alice in Wonderland by the Kansas City Ballet at the Ballet’s invitation.  The performance opened the next night.
