Interm Business Agent Ron Milligan started working in the Business Office today, 01/23/2012.  Ron was appointed to this position, by Local #10 President, Sonny Yeatman, to fill the spot left vacant by resigning Business Agent Allen Burns.  Ron came into the Union July 27,1978 and has been with Local #10 for 34 years.  He is a seasoned mechanic with years of experience.  Ron was the Local #10 president from 2006 to 2008 and is very active with the Union, so many of you already know him.  Ron will be filling this spot until another election can be held.

It is getting to be that time of year again.  In a couple of months the weather will be getting warmer and Christmas in April will be just around the corner.  We need to start to prepare now so that we have people willing to help those in need of home improvement work that can't do it themselves.  Local #10 and our retired and active members  have been involved with this project for over 10 years and we would like to continue to help the community.  Mike and Rose will be taking sign ups, so we know how many people are willing to pitch in and help with this project.  Mike will be at the February Union Meeting, there will be a sign up list in the Union Hall Office, and you can email Mike and Rose at mherrity@hotmail.com.  If you would like to talk to Mike for more information, you can call him at 540-219-8909.  This year the project date will be Saturday April 28th.  We will not be assigned a home until sometime in March.  As soon as that information is available it will be posted and given to all that want to help.

Please sign up before March 8th so the final planning can take place.

UPDATE: Allen Burns resigned on Wednesday 01/18/2012

Our newest Business Agent, Allen Burns, started his new path today.  We, here at the Hall, would like to Welcome Allen to his new position here with us.  He will be learning the ropes for a few days as he settles into his new office.  If you see Allen in the field, shake his hand and thank him  for his service to the Local.  Sworn in last night, along with Allen, were new President, Sonny Yeatman, E-Board members, Crash Caparrotta, TC McGraw, Mark Trader, and new Warden James Hall.  We would like to congratulate all of them on their new position.

We, here at the Hall, as well as many brothers and sisters of Local #10 want to thank Joe Mickesh for his service to the Local over the years.  Joe has been a part of this Local for 35 years, in one position or another, and will be greatly missed by all.  As he starts a new phase of his life, we want to wish him ALL the best and hope that he will stop by and see us when he is in town.  If you know Joe, you know he is headed for warmer weather in the south.  He enjoys riding his Harley, fishing, working on cars, jogging, and all of these are much easier to do when the wheather is a little nicer then it is here in Maryland.  Joes dad also lives in Florida, where Joe is headed, and Joe will be spending some time with him fishing off the dock.  Hope you catch lots of fish Joe, and hope you enjoy being Retired.
