While at the Seneca Waterways TOR last weekend, I picked up a patch which Tschipey Achtu Lodge #(95) Lighthouse Chapter issued a patch for their 2018 Fellowship. I believe this is currently the second chapter patch issued from any of the chapters in Tschipey Achtu Lodge #(95). I’d previously written about the 2017 Camporee here.

the stats would be:
Lighthouse eR2018-1 BLK R M/C BLK GRY FDL; BLK Fellowship 2018, WWW Red Arrow

I heard there are currently no plans for any 2019 event issues.

Is anyone aware of any other chapter issues from Tschipey Achtu Lodge #(95)?

“I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.” –Benjamin Franklin, On the Price of Corn and Management of the Poor, 1766

I was going through a recent acquisition and comparing it to the Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 Ellicott Chapter J2 already in my possession. It looks like there are both thin and thick letter varieties as you can see below for “Order of the Arrow”.

Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 Ellicott Chapter J2 Varieties

Both are twill right smooth.

So does this become a J2a and J2b or just an MVE?

All you Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 completeists, please starting looking.

“To model our political system upon speculations of lasting tranquility, is to calculate on the weaker springs of the human character.” –Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 34, 1788

A recent addition to my NER OA Collection is a cut edge version of the Region Committee patch. I beleive this one was issued a couple of years ago. Can anyone confirm the issue date?

Does anyone know when this version was introduced?

My current NER OA are shown below:

For those who collect Northeast Region Order of the Arrow Patches Dave Scocca’s website is invaluable.

“Government, in my humble opinion, should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of the natural rights of its members; and every government, which has not this in view, as its principal object, is not a government of the legitimate kind.” —James Wilson (1791)

Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 has issued an event patch for its 2019 Winter Fellowship. The patch does not mention the lodge name or number, but depicts a shivering Chicken Wing with Sash with the tag line Just Another Day in Buffalo.

The stats for this one are:

“It is of great importance to set a resolution, not to be shaken, never to tell an untruth. There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible; and he who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and a third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good disposition.” —Thomas Jefferson (1785)

I only recently updated the issues for the Section NE-3A 2016 Conclave. Now I have another to add, this one has a yellow border. The 2016 Section NE-3A Conclave was held at Camp Woodland and hosted by Lowanne Nimat Lodge #219

I believe this to be the host lodge issue, but can anyone confirm?

Section NE-3A 2016 Conclave Yellow Border Patch

Does anyone confirm what this border color was for?

Currently looking for the red and orange borders. Anyone have these for trade or sale?

According to the OA Section List, Section NE-3A contains:

• TKäen DoD Lodge #30
• Tschipey Achtu Lodge #95/397
• Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159
• Lowanne Nimat Lodge #219
• Ashokwahta Lodge #3390
