  1. Brother Andrew,

    It may have been, but since Ty-Ohni #95, the host lodge, issued two flaps for the event, I don’t think that is the case.

  2. If I remember correctly it was for the largest lodge contingent (based on the number of member in each lodge).

  3. I ran the lodge trading post at this conclave. The red border flap was for lodge delegates. A few ended up with more than one since the agreement was that they would all be sold at conclave- basically if a member asked for another one on the last day I sold them one. The gold border patch was given to selected folks by the lodge chief, mostly conclave staff and special guests. It was very difficult to get, not all staff received one. The last of the backpatches just sold from the council store in Rochester sometime during the past few weeks….six years later!! The last of the blue flaps were sold/traded at NOAC in 2006.
