Potluck Dinner

Thursday, May 1st

Mulholland Lounge in McKim Hall at the UVA med school

7:00pm

Much like the event we had at the beginning of the school year, the AMA Alliance will be hosting a potluck dinner. Please bring an appetizer, entree, or dessert dish to share with your fellow significant others. If you bring a homemade dish, please bring a copy of the recipe with you. We are collecting recipes for a future cookbook.

This event is casual, and we will be sharing our calendar of upcoming social events (which are ladies only, couples, and kids too).

If you haven't been to any Alliance events since the first dinner, that's okay. Don't be shy, come out for this dinner and see familiar faces and meet some new ones.

Also, if you know any other girls who are the significant other of a med student, resident, fellow, etc at UVA, please invite them to come too!
