MEMBERS CONNECTING
MCAM’s social committee worked with the Salvation Army for the third year in a row in the Adopt-a-Family program. Sadly, the financial realities for so many have changed suddenly due to the pandemic.
    MCAM’s Next Gen Committee was thrilled to launch and host Thirsty Thursday virtual happy hour. Thirsty Thursdays take place on the last Thursday of each month and are a casual virtual Zoom happy hour to meet up, network and take part in conversations with the mechanical industry’s future leaders.
The highly anticipated Holiday Reception was cancelled this year due to the pandemic. The MCAM Board of Directors and staff created a warm video message with 2ZERO8 Creative Media Services.
Please note: The MCAM office will be closed for the holidays from Dec. 19 to Jan. 3.
