I like how after being split between NE-3 and NE-4B in 1997, the powers at be have decided to reunite NE-5 once again. Western PA and Ho-Nan-Ne-Ho-Ont 165 harken back to the 3-B and 3-F days.

Because it’s a nice set of 11 lodges, hopefully they won’t subdivide it.

Ahhhhh….that was a fun conclave. I remember making the trip as part of the Gosh Wha Gono contingent. Good times……

The territory covered by NE-3 is reminiscent of the territory of the many lodges that converged at Camp Cutler for the 1995 NE3-A/B Co-conclave. The only additions are Onteroraus and the territory of the former Kamargo Lodges.

I missed the following NJ lodges to NE-7
# 2 Sakuwit ==> to NE-7
# 9 Lenapehoking ==> to NE-7
# 43 Woapalanne ==> to NE-7
but these are leaving 2-C
# 313 Owaneco ==> to NE-2
# 427 Achewon Netopalis ==> to NE-2
# 553 Paugassett ==> to NE-2
Not sure how even that is. 427 is pretty small. Maybe NE-7 will be split.

My favorite bit of the alignment is that the Maryland lodges are back to being in NE-6, which was the area used when they were first moved from SE into NE back in ‘83.

The NE-3B conclave will also be held in mid-August. It would appear that NE-3B will lose 2 of its lodges following its conclave.

With there being 10 lodges in the NE-3 area, as well as a few others, I would make a guess and say that there may not be an OA section subdivision within the area.

One wonders what the final alignments will be.

NE-7 looks like what was NE-3A back in the late 70s when I was in 360.

There’s been a merger since then (the formation of 86). Three other lodges in NE-3A (482, 506, 562) are now in other sections.
