Sometime in August, you will be offered the opportunity to join a second MBCA Eblast list that will send you a VERY SHORT email whenever there is updated content or new events posted on the MBCA website. It will only give you the topic of the new information and a link, to keep you up-to-date between EBlasts. Watch for more information about this option in August.
