MCAA Member-Get-a-Member Contest Winner Gives Thanks to Employer

Words: Mason ContractorsThe Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) held a Member-Get-A-Member campaign from February through June of this year. Members who helped recruit new members were entered into a random Grand Prize drawing for a $2,500 vacation package. The Grand Prize winner was Anna Weickhardt of Kalish Masonry in Middleton, Wis.

We informed Anna of winning the contest and asked her to send us a brief summary of where she was planning to travel. She asked for our approval to do something a little different. Here’s what she had to say:

For as long as I have been employed with Kalish Masonry, the owner, Addison Kalish, has sacrificed so much of his personal time and has always put his employees first. I cannot thank him enough for making sure that we are always taken care of, and with that said, I would like to take this opportunity to show him my appreciation.
Addison,

In December, 2016, you will be traveling to the mountains in Wyoming at Togwotee Pass, which is one of the world’s premier snowmobile destinations. You are signed up for a custom tour and, with 2.5 million acres of mountain terrain and over 600 miles of groomed snowmobile trails; you will get to truly experience backcountry snowmobiling through chest-deep powder.

You need a vacation more than I do.

Have fun and happy riding,

Anna
