Welcome back!

In 1989 the newly formed Section NE-5’s Conclave was hosted by Gyantwachia Lodge #255 and the event was held at their 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.

“A people may want a free government; but if, from insolence, or carelessness, or cowardice, or want of public spirit, they are unequal to the exertions necessary for preserving it; if they will not fight for it when it is directly attacked; if they can be deluded by the artifices used to cheat them out of it; if by momentary discouragement or temporary panic, or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual they can be induced to lay their liberties at the feet of even a great man, or trust him with powers which enable him to subvert their institutions; in all cases they are more or less unfit for liberty; and though it may be for their good to have had it even for a short time, they are unlikely long to enjoy it.” – John Stuart Mill, Essays on Representative Government, 1861 & 1862

This was just the second NE-2B Conclave, but there were more items issued for this event than any other NE-2B conclave, 3 patches ans 2 neckerchiefs.

The event was hosted by Chi Sigma Lodge #546 and was held at Camp Barton and the theme was Weld Tightly Every Link.

First is the pocket patch:

There was also an arc earned by the particpants.

I originally wrote about the 2007 Section NE-2C Conclave here.  I recently acquired another patch from the 2007 NE-2C Conclave with a yellow border.  I believe this to be the Very Important Arrowman (VIA) issue traditionally used by Section NE-2C.  The  VIA round was traditionally given to the Section COC, each Lodge chief and generally the youngest arrowman in each Lodge contingent.

NE-2C 2007 Pocket Patch - Very Important Arrowman?

Can anyone confirm this is the VIA issue?  I also believe that there was a regular staff issue for the event as well.  Can anyone confirm this?

I had previously written about the memorabilia issued for the 1964 Area 2-G Conclave. At the time, I was only aware of two items issued for the event.  Neale Cummings sends along a third item; a neckerchief slide.

I’ll be adding this to the original post as well.

Anything else issued for the event?

I’ve been meaning to write about this early NYS OA Conclave from 1949.

It is a bit unusual, as it would seem to come after the Lettered Area D (1948) but before the formation of Area 2-D circa 1949.  At the least, it seems to only include a portion of the Area 2-D and could be looked on as a predecessor to the area covered today by Kittan Lodge.

Clicking on the image, will bring you to the auction for the next couple of months.

It did sell, for the minimum bid of $ 349.99.  Anyone know more about this item?
