annual District Deputy visit was positive

We had our official DD visit and inspection last Thursday and we are pleased to report that all is well with Salisbury lodge. We have a few minor issues that need some tinkering with but for the most part, we are an above average lodge. Thanks to the few who work so hard to make it that way and the many who support this lodge by continuing to pay their dues. Without both, we would surely flounder.
