Annually the Vt. Elks make a policy for the District Deputy South to visit all Lodges in the southern part of the state to inspect their buildings premises, financials and book work, to make sure they are abiding by Elks rules and regulations.
Recently, Henry Diemer of Brattleboro Lodge and District Deputy South visited Springfield Lodge 1560, and did just that. At the end of the day and inspections handled he gave a glowing report for Springfield Lodge in that they are doing well according to Elks National standards. He and the Lodge enjoyed a nice luncheon put on by the House Committee for him, his suite of officers and Lodge members.
