Two years ago, I posted about the 2000 NE-3B Conclave. Can anyone confirm the host lodge and where it was held?

The theme for the 2000 Section NE-3B Conclave was Remembering Our Past – Envisioning our Future.

There were a least 3 items issued for the event.

A pocket patch (with loop for participants)

Section NE-3B 2000 Particpant Pocket Patch

See the original post for the rest of the details.

Was anything else issued for the event?

Three years ago, I posted on a Fake Blue on Blue Air Scout State Strip discovered by Roy Weatherbee.

An Air Scout BBS 1/4 state strip (“MASS.”) was recently offered for sale on eBay. Bidding was heated, with two bidders topping $500 (four bidders over $300).

As Air Scout state strips are quite rare, I was surprised to receive a Second Chance offer at my (distant third) bid. Unfortunately, my luck was too good to be true, as the item (upon close inspection) turned out to be a modern counterfeit. (I don’t believe the seller was even aware, nor was any deceit intended, and my purchase was refunded immediately).

He provided a link showing the difference in the real and fake versions.

However, regardless of the source, these fake strips are out there, and I’ve prepared a document to explain the differences between these and the real McCoy. This info may be downloaded from the following link:

Lets be careful out there.
