Since I’m not at NOAC this year either, but I’m trying to update my OA Handbook Checklist.

I’ve added information on the 2 reproduction issues of the 1948 and 1950 handbooks issued by National.

Also added the name/signature of the National Chief which have appeared in the last several handbooks to aid in identification.  I’m looking for any handbooks not on my list, corrections to the list and of course, to fill in my needs.

Can anyone help me out?

Shu Shu Gah Lodge has issued a delegate neckerchief for this year’s NOAC using a design based on the Delegate Flap Set.
