BOFH: Carbon Neutrality (Episode 4)

Lodge 459: 2008 Spring Fellowship

Posted in Catawba 459, SR-5 Lodges by John E. Pannell on February 4th, 2008 at 5:20 am

Catawba lodge has adopted a super heroes theme for this year’s activity patches.       The first event of the year, Spring Fellowship, is not until the weekend of March 14th, but I have already been sent an image of the patch that will be issued.   The Spring Fellowship features “Meck” costumed as The Flash.

The fleur d’lis is kind of hard to see in an images, especially if you don’t know where to look. It’s on The Flash’s right boot.     The patch has a “laser cut edge” and was produced by Shelby Patch Company.

Thanks to Larry Banks, I have also been sent images of the  rest of the 2008  activity patches for Catawba lodge.     I will post these later.     Blue Book data for the Spring Fellowship patch is as follows:
