Tipisa Lodge 326: Southeast Meets Northwest
Posted in 
At their recent Spring Conclave, Tipisa Lodge 326 continued their series of activity patches with the Northwestern tribal designs. Pictured here is the 2007-08 year patch, and the depiction of the canoe is very impressive. Measuring 10.5 inches at its longest point, it has a laser cut edge, it has some pretty impressive details. The lodge ordered 200 of these, and will be ordering another 100 in time for their Service Weekend in May.
For the weekend itself, the patch depicts a Tlingit bentwood box. It is a custom in Tipisa that all patches have a depiction of the lodge’s totem, a tipi. It may be hard to tell from this picture, but there is a tipi on the year patch, hidden quite well.
Astatula Chapter came out with a patch of their own (X-4), with 200 made. Several were given to new members that completed their Ordeals in January, and returned to the Spring Conclave; the rest were presumed to have been sold.
