Hearts on Fire Ball to Benefit M.A.S.H. Village

   "Friends of M.A.S.H." Host Valentine’s Day in the Name of Less Fortunate
Las Vegas— The newly-formed service organization Friends of M.A.S.H. Village will host their first event this Saturday from 6:30- 11 p.m., a Valentine’s-appropriate "Hearts on Fire" celebration to be held at the Spanish Trails Country Club.

   An expected 200 guests will don red cocktail attire enjoy "Performance Food", music, dancing and a silent auction, with all proceeds directly supporting the building fund for M.A.S.H.’s New Transitional Living Center. An extension of the Village’s comprehensive homeless rehabilitation services, the planned facility will offer increased space for education and job training programs, as well as a full-service dining facility and Health Services Center.

   Father Joe Carroll, who is expected to be on hand to meet and greet with guests and Friends of M.A.S.H. Village members, feels that such a group is vital to the success of a charity, not just from a fundraising standpoint but also for increasing public awareness.

   "We love to have a group such as this come to us with an offer of support, especially when it’s a voluntary, longer-term relationship," he says. "Once someone actually comes out and sees all the things we accomplish, the lives we change every day, they then become ambassadors for our programs, our facilities and our people. This kind of support is invaluable."
