Tsali: 2006 NOAC Team Dance Champion Flaps
Posted in Tsali lodge has just issued two flaps to honor their dance team’s winning the team dance championship at this past summer’s NOAC at Michigan State University.
The design features two Cherokee dancers and the traditional symbol, the drawn bow with Tsali written in Cherokee, of this lodge. The other two word in Cherokee translate as quail and buffalo, in homage to the two dances this lodge performed.
This first flap was sold by pre-order as a fundraiser for the lodge’s dance team for $20 each.
The second flap was given one each to the members of the dance team, with the option to buy up to five more. The design is identical to the first except the yellow border is changed to gold mylar.
Tentative Blue Book statistics for these two issues should be as follows:
Issue Border Type Bkgd Name fdl/BSA Comments
S57? YEL R M/C RED YEL NOAC06; Group Dance National Champions
S58? GMY R M/C RED YEL NOAC06; Group Dance National Champions
Thanks and credit to Hank Birdsong for sending these images. They will be added to the main body of this site soon.
The images supplied to OAImages.com were production proofs from the manufacturer. For anyone that ordered the S-57 we will be sending them out as soon as they arrive, which hopeully will be before Thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone that supported the Tsali Lodge Dance Team (& the Twisted Rawhide Singers) through the purchase of these flaps.
The 2006 Dance Team Championship patches have arrived! Most will go out on the 28th & 29th of November. With each mail-order we are including a Tsali Lodge Pocketflap Guide & checklist. More Tsali Pocketflap guides will be available at the Wahissa TOR on December 16th, and the second edition with more Tsali Issues will be available at Dixie (free!!). Tsali flaps are about the most difficult to distinguish between issues (I was in the lodge for more than a year before I had a clue!), but this guide should clear up the mystery.
