It’s official, Otetiana and Finger Lakes Councils voted unanimously to merge.

AS was reported in the Democrat and Chronicle,

The new council will cover Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Wayne, and Yates counties.
Leaders of the Finger Lakes Council approved the merger at a meeting at its Geneva headquarters. The Otetiana Council approved the merger at a meeting at its Rochester office.

The new combined organization will continue to maintain both offices.

I had previously written about a NOAC chevron issued by Area 2-G for the 1971 NOAC.  At the time, I was not aware that there was also a neckerchief issued by the Area to be worn by members of Area 2-G at NOAC.

The Central New York TOR last weekend had one in the auction, and I was fortunate to have the winning bid (sorry Ray).

The neckerchief shows an outline of New York State (although Long Island appears to have floated away).
