Summer is in full swing, and June was a month to remember at the 1861 Club!
We kicked things off with the Women’s Conference, which brought together an incredible crowd for a day filled with inspiration, laughter, motivation, and sisterhood. The lineup of speakers was nothing short of amazing, and the energy in the room was electric! A big thank you to Metropolitan Coffee and Donuts In Paradise for keeping everyone fueled with delicious treats throughout the day.
Next up, we had the honor of hosting the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center Physician Recruitment Dinner. This elegant, plated event featured all locally sourced ingredients from Reno County and was a meal that was as beautiful as it was delicious. Special thanks to HRMC President & CEO, Ben Anderson and Lauren Storm with the Chamber for making the evening such a huge success.
We wrapped up the month with a lively and love-filled wedding reception. The room was packed with celebration, laughter, and dancing. The bride looked stunning, the wedding party was a blast, and the families of both the bride and groom were truly wonderful. Congratulations to the happy couple—we wish you a lifetime of joy!
As always, we’re already looking ahead and gearing up for the Kansas State Fair. Mark your calendars and get ready for an awesome entertainment lineup—you won’t want to miss it!
Stay tuned, and we’ll see you at the 1861 Club!
