As you many of you know I am taking a job with another agency and will be unable to continue as President. My resignation will be affective as of 3:00pm June 20, 2008. It is with great regret I have to resign my position although I am excited about the new challenges that are ahead of me. I would like to thank everyone over the last two and a half years who have assisted me while I was President. I believe I am leaving the Union in the very capable hands of the new President, Mitchell Growe, and the Executive Board. I think the body should be excited about the new opportunities younger people have to participate in this Lodge and encourage the younger generation to take an active role in their Lodge. The Lodge is headed in the right direction after some uneasy times and I believe the leadership in place will continue the tradition. I thank you for the opportunity to serve as your President and wish the Lodge the best of luck in the future. Fraternally, President Todd Kraus
