MCAA's Fifth Annual Online Auction a Success

Bidders, generous donors make auction a hit

By Tim O’Toole

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) held its fifth annual Online Auction from March 3rd to March 5th, 2009 at www.masoncontractors.org/auction.

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