Father-Daughter Banquet
 The annual Father-Daughter Banquet has been a Club tradition since 1947. It’s an evening where daughters get dressed in their fanciest party dresses, fix their hair in pretty updos and maybe even put on a little make up to share a special evening with their fathers. This year, dads and daughters will again have an evening together at the Club at the Father-Daughter Banquet on Wednesday, May 20. Fathers, daughters, grandfathers and granddaughters are all invited to share an exclusive evening at the Club together. This year’s banquet will again feature carriage rides around town where daughters will feel just like princesses. Carriage ride reservations can be made by calling 314-539-4470. Reservations are required and must be made in advance. Rides are $10 per person. After a delicious dinner, dads and daughters will hit the dance floor to entertainment by the Charles Glenn Band. At the end of the evening, each daughter will receive a special gift and a frame with a photo taken of them with their father. The evening will begin with a reception from 5:30-7 p.m. for pictures and carriage rides. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. and dancing will follow from 8-10 p.m. The cost to attend is $29.95, plus gratuity ages 12 and over and $23.95, plus gratuity for ages 11 and under.
