Update from Grand Lodge...

Due to the unique circumstance of Floyd Mason retiring after just 94 days in office, the Grand Executive Council and General Chairmen of the BRS were assembled for a special election. General Chairman Chris Natale nominated Jerry Boles to the vacated office of President, who won his election unanimously. Michael Baldwin (VP West) and Rob Morris (Gen Sec. Treasurer United General Committee) were nominated for the Secretary Treasurer office which was vacated by Jerry Boles. Michael Baldwin won this election which created a vacant office for VP West. Grand Lodge Representative Cory Claypool was nominated for the VP West position, and won unanimously. Also in attendance from Long Island were James Sokolowski and Michael Sullivan who were nominated by Jerry Boles to serve as special election Sargent at Arms and Teller respectively.

We regret to inform you that the wife of retired BRS Treasurer and Signal Foreman Lenny Jones has passed away.

The wake will be held at the Overton Funeral Home, 172 Main St. Islip NY on January 1 2019. The hours are 2PM until 4:30PM and 7PM until 9PM.
