‘Masonry Day at the Park’ in Texas


The MCAA hosted “Masonry Day at the Park” in Arlington, Texas on Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Attendees enjoyed an exciting evening of baseball with their friends in the masonry industry and supported the MAC PAC when the Texas Rangers faced off against the Oakland Athletics. The Athletics defeated their American League West rivals 1-0 in a pitcher’s duel on a cool night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
A total of $4,750 was raised at the event for the MAC PAC and MAC PEC. The MAC PAC helps elect pro-construction federal candidates to office who support the MCAA on important industry issues. Contributions raised at this event were exclusively for the MAC PAC and will be used to support pro-masonry candidates.

The MCAA would like to thank Buddie Barnes of Dee Brown Inc. for his hard work in setting up this event.
