A new cast of characters is sure to keep guests laughing and entertained at the 11th annual MASH BASH.

Join The North Valley Hospital Foundation for MASH Goes to New Orleans on Friday, August 27. The evening features a full-course gourmet New Orleans dinner served in the “mess” tent, kisses from Hot Lips, dancing to the Don Lawrence Orchestra and Friends, bidding on impressive silent auction items and enjoying spectacular entertainment. Come in military attire or fashions from New Orleans. Happy hour and appetizers start at 6 p.m. and welcome the North Valley Hospital MASH cast -- Hot Lips, Klinger, Radar and Father Mulcohy -- during the 6:45 p.m. helicopter fly-in.
