Section NE-5 1989 Conclave

In 1989 the newly formed Section NE-5’s Conclave was hosted by Gyantwachia Lodge #255 and the event was held at their (see comment from Rob Higgens) Camp Custaloga Town.  the theme for the weekend was “Seek To Serve”

There was only a single New York Lodge, Ho-Nan-Ne-Ho-Ont #165 in Section NE-5. While it is basically a PA Section, its patches are still sought by NY Section Conclave collectors.

Were any other items issued for this event?

Update February 2018
Todd Rogers advised

I was going through my collection and realized there are two different varieties for the 1989 NE-5 patch that you mention:

In addition to the no loop version, there was a version with a loop.

My guess would be trading post version and a participant version. Can anyone confirm?

According to the OA Section List, the following lodges made up NE-5 at this time

  • Wagion Lodge #6
  • Langundowi Lodge #46
  • Kiasutha Lodge #57
  • Tanacharison Lodge #67
  • Monaken Lodge #103
  • Ah’Tic Lodge #139
  • Ho-Nan-Ne-Ho-Ont Lodge #165
  • Kuskitannee Lodge #168
  • Gyantwachia Lodge #255

  1. Custaloga Town is actually French Creek (Langundowi) Council’s camp. I forget why Gyantwachia couldn’t host it at Olmstead (that was just before my induction)
