Here's what one MCASF Preferred Vendor had to say:
I wanted to thank you - you make it worth it for a vendor like us to return each year. I have joined other associations in the past and only were a member for a year before I realized it was a waste of money.  But it's totally worth it to be a member of the MCASF. It has helped with our relationships and put us in a better position for more business.
