MCAA’s Sixth Annual Online Auction a Success

The MCAA held its sixth annual Online Auction March 16 to 18, 2010, at www.masoncontractors.org/auction.

Contractors were able to bid on several new, name-brand items for half the cost of retail including scaffolding, mortarboards and trowels. Bidding was fast and furious, but there could only beone winner for each of the great items. Many lots came down to the final seconds, making it an exciting auction for all involved.
