Another image from Ben Obernesser, this one for NOAC 2022. Section NE-3B for the last several NOAC’s has done a set of Section flaps to commemorate the NOAC. A flap was issued for each Lodge in the Section with a shared design and having the Lodge name. For 2022 only a single flap was issued containing the totems of the individual lodges making up the section.

With the Project Magellan realignment the old Section NE-3B is now E-16.

Section E-16 2022 NOAC Flap

The Lodges in the Section are:
Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34
Otahnagon Lodge #172
Kittan Lodge #364
Onteroraus Lodge #402
Ajapeu Lodge #351

“The bosom of America is open to receive…the oppressed and persecuted…whom we shall welcome to a participation of all our rights and privileges, if by decency and propriety of conduct they appear to merit the enjoyment.” —George Washington (1783)

Another image from Mia Hubbert, this one from the Section NE-3B 2002 Conclave. This one seems to be neither fish nor fowl. Is from an era later than when most hat pins were issued, but the design elements and shape are not usual for a participant pin.

Section NE-3B 2002 Conclave Pin

Anyone know the story behind the pin?

Here is a copy of the pocket patch from the original post, note the arrowhead would not match the pin

Another pair of images from Mia Hubbert, this time for the 2003 Section NE-3B Conclave. This conclave was held at Camp Russell and hosted by Ga-Hon-Ga Lodge #34. The theme was “Feel the Fire.” I had originally written it up in May 2008.

Here are a couple of additional images:

First a Jacket Patch:

There was also a pin.

Was this a participation pin or a trading post issue?

“It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping GOD in the manner most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship.” —John Adams (1776)

I had first written about the Section NE-3B 2005 Conclave back in November of 2011.

Mia Hubbert sends along images of two previously unlisted items.

Can anyone confirm why this second variation was issued?

There was an embroidered neckerchief shown in my original post:

The 2015 Section NE-3B was held at Camp Barton and hosted by Otahnagon Lodge /#172. The theme for the weekend was Headwaters Paddle Onward.

There were multiple issues for the event.

A Pocket patch:

I’m told this was for staff.

The red lines are the arrows on the paddlers sashes and the red & white near the bottom is the reflection of the OA 100 Logo in the water

a red bordered version which I’m told was staff or host lodge.
