December 13, 2012 was Election Day and also we had a Union Meeting that evening.  The new General President, Mr. Frank Christensen, was here and spoke with the membership.  I understand he visited with some of the body in the parking lot before the meeting.  Thank you Frank for coming to Local #10 and introducing yourself to the membership.  It was very nice to see you and have an opportunity to speak with you. The By Laws change was voted down by the membership and did not pass.  Dave Geib won the Business Agent vote for another 3 years.  The E-Board is as follows : 1.  Mike Watson   2. Dale Meunier   3. Gene Dickinson   4. Crash Caparotta   5.  Andy Schultz   6. Gary Dwyer   7. Mark Trader   8. Allen Burns   9. Mike Quinones.  Wardens are as follows:  James Hall, Brett Horton, and Cale Fuller.  Trustees are as follows:  Brad Harwood, Andrew Fonger, and Matt Guthrie.  Thank you to all of these brothers for the work they do on the boards.

Just so all of you know the numbers, we had right around 300 members come out  to vote.  How sad is that when we have 1144 active members at this time.  The voting number is a fraction of the total membership.  I really have no idea what it would take to get members interested in YOUR Union, and what happens in YOUR Union Hall.
