Red Cross to Hold MASH Bash Benefit - October 23, 2007
PITTSFIELD - The American Red Cross will hold MASH Bash to benefit the Armed Forces Emergency Services, which support local military and military family services in Berkshire County, on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. at American Legion Post 68.
It will include a Chinese auction and 50/50 raffle. Dinner will feature a dessert and specialty coffee buffet donated by restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops and cafes throughout Berkshire County to top off the more traditional rations of SOS (yes, SOS!), mashed potatoes, and peas.
Participants are encouraged to dress in fatigues or as a favorite "MASH" character, or come as you are. Anyone who has a "USO style" act is welcome to perform. Prizes will be awarded for the best lookalikes.
Many of service members are on their second or third deployment in Iraq and Afghanistan; they and their families are being affected by these long separations emotionally and financially. The Red Cross assists these families through Emergency Communication Services, Social Services and Family Support Group.
The American Red Cross does this through its charter received in 1905 from the Congress to act as a link between military personnel and their families. The U.S. government does not provide these programs; they are supported by the communities that the Red Cross serves.
Tickets are available at the American Red Cross on West Street,Wood Brothers and Johnnie’s Variety, as well as at the American Legion in North Adams, LP Adams Hardware in Dalton, Wheeler & Taylor Insurance Co. in Great Barrington. For more information about the bash or to purchase tickets by credit card, call 413-442-1506 or e-mail pizzike@usa.redcross.org. |
