The Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Association of the Hudson Valley, Inc. contributed $10,000 in mid-March to the Mechanical Contracting Education & Research Foundation (MCERF) last week, doubling its 2005 contribution. PMCA Executive Director Patricia Ploeger stated, "We appreciate all of the work MCERF does to enhance the profitability of the industry in which we all earn our livelihoods. This donation is our way of saying 'thanks' to an organization from which we've gotten so much." MCERF President Bob FitzGerald extended his sincere gratitude for PMCA's generosity and trust.
