The MASH Bash, will take you back to a time when the swamp was a barracks and soldiers were named Hot Lips and Hawkeye.

This fun casual themed medical military event will include dinner, dancing, silent auction, bid board, photo op, raffle, table decoration contest, costume contest, special games, awards, cash bar, fun decorations, and much more.
