Brothers and Sisters of Division 28,

Members present at the May monthly Division 28 meeting drafted a resolution and subsequently passed a motion to send that resolution to us in the form of a referendum ballot. Soon you will all receive a copy of the resolution with a ballot enclosed. You will notice a line on the ballot for printing your name and a signature line. These are necessary for the validation of each ballot and your ballot will not be counted unless they are filled out completely. While this is not a secret ballot vote, please understand that there will be no record kept of how individuals vote. That is not the reason for signing it. Ballots need to be returned by June 30th, 2010.
With that being said, I expect there will be many differing sentiments and opinions regarding this issue. I would like to take a second and remind everyone that there is a monthly meeting coming up this next week (Thursday June 17th) and this would be a great forum to let your opinions be heard as well as to listen to those of other Division 28 members. I am looking forward to a good turnout and a lively debate.

I hope to see you there.

Fraternally,

Nick Johnson
