Let us know and we’ll arrange to have it picked up!

We are counting on YOU, the Membership of the MAA, to supply this FUN!  Also, get your Local Newspapers to donate advertising space (the size you use).  Guarantee them that they will bring face value (be sure to bid them to face value even if you have to raise your own bid).  WIN – WIN – the local newspaper gets a chance to help out at our organization while getting exposure to the entire state association.  It doesn’t cost you any more than it would have anyway.  Tell your newspaper to send you coverage area maps for promotion.

All Donations to the MAA Benefit Auction help the Michigan Auctioneers Association provide great programs and support to the Auctioneers and Auction Industry in Michigan. A successful Benefit Auction helps the Association keep costs down for all members including Membership rates and Convention Registration Rates. Any and all donations help. Even if you can’t attend the convention, you can still donate. Just Contact the MAA Office for details on how you can help.
