Update from Grand Lodge.

General Chairman Mike Owens from Chicago Metra has retired after an impressive and long career of service to the BRS. With his position on the Grand Board of Trustees now vacated, General Chairman Chris Natale was nominated and unanimously elected to serve on the board. Present from Local 56 for the election were Brian Aarne, James Carone, James Ridley, and Mike Sullivan.
