The third and final Section NE-3C Conclave was hosted by Loon Lodge #364 and held at their Camp Bedford which was also the 50th Anniversary of Loon Lodge. The Conclave theme was Mindful of Our High Traditions.
The only issue that I am aware of from that event is a pocket patch.
Is anyone aware of any other items issued for this event?
Update: Feb. 28, 2009
Here are some additional issues provided by Roy Weatherbee.
The neckerchief:
And the cover:
Thanks, Roy.

- Income tax returns are the most imaginative fiction being written today.
In addition to the patch, there is also an embroidered neckerchief, and (for the stamp collectors) an irst day cover / envelope with a Loon Lodge 50th anniversary cancellation stamp that also reads: “NE-3C Conclave Station, Paul Smiths, NY 12970, August 23, 1997”
I believe there may also have been a pin, but I do not have it.
Interestingly, although Ajapeu Lodge #351 (Vermont) had been moved out of this section into NE-1A back in 1995, they were still invited to this event and their lodge number included on the patch and neckerchief. This was done again in 1998 as well, though I heard rumors that after that the section was told by national not to be including lodges outside of their section.
There was a gold 50 participation pin that was pinned over the 50 on the participation patch that has a black loop.
