z123zs1.jpg A new line of “replicas” is being sold on eBay by beaver95_1.   This group all picture old lodges that had changed their names without ever issuing a patch.

So far the lodges are Zitkala-sa 123, Blackhawk 140, Nipperine 155, Doog Gnituocs 164, and Hilo-Hos-Kula 205.

Sometime soon these five “new names” and their patches will be added to my site.

Tsali Team Dance Champion Flaps Arrived

Posted in SR-5 Lodges, Tsali 134 by John E. Pannell on November 29th, 2006 at 12:23 am

Hank Birdsong of Tsali 134 wrote the following message as a comment to a previous message about 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.

Those who have ordered this flap should see it in their mailbox soon.
