Last Chance: Join Us For A Record-Setting South of 40 Party At Topgolf

Words: Dan Kamys

Please call the MCAA office at 800.536.2225 or email Todd Fredrick at tfredrick@masoncontractors.org to purchase tickets. 

The MCAA is set to put on the largest South of 40 Party ever, with over 200 tickets pre-sold and record sponsorships contributed. This three-hour event will provide guests with a full dinner, open bar, networking, raffles, and golf games. It is set to be our best yet. Please try to buy your tickets in advance, but we do plan to sell tickets at the door provided there is still space.

The first 200 South of 40 Party ticket holders to arrive at Monday night's event will receive a swag bag full of MCAA and South of 40 apparel and more.
