1978 SE-3A Conclave Patch
The 1978 SE-3A Conclave, “Service By The Sea”, was hosted by Klahican 331. The pocket patch is pictured here.
This patch design is an apparent departure from established customs at that time. There is no mention of the host lodge on the design. Its totem does not appear. There is nothing to indicate where the conclave was held. One might be able to guess the host lodge as the only lodges in this section on the coast were Klahican and Croatan.
