Atta Kulla Kulla, like Skyuka and Muscogee lodges, issued only an odd-shaped patch for this year’s Dixie Fellowship. Thanks to Greg Grimes for sending the image.

I can’t quite figure out what the whippoorwill is supposed to be doing on this patch. It looks like he’s striking a cowbell? Why the lavender and pink shirt? Maybe I’d understand the design better if I was there. Can someone fill me in on this?

Jeff Cook has been trying to keep me up to date with South Carolina items lately After seeing my recent post on possible issues from lodge 185, he sent me the image of the rather unusual patch pictured. It uses the names of three South Carolina lodges but appears to be issued by an Explorer post. He couldn’t remember exactly what the patch was made for, but had seen a few floating around South Carolina the last several years.

Why was this patch made? What’s the connection between the named lodges and “Post 1801″. Jason Spangler was able to provide some answers.

I mentioned this piece in a recent post about possible unlisted chapter items from Atta Kulla Kulla lodge. When I had first written the post I did not yet have an image and wasn’t sure if it met the criteria to be listed as a neckerchief.

Thanks again to Charlie Moehlenbrock for letting me know about this item.

Once again, I’ll quote what Charlie had to say about this piece:

Charlie Moehlenbrock, a former member of Atta Kulla Kulla lodge currently in Kansas, recently wrote me about a few items that should probably be added to the chapter listings for this lodge. He also included the set of shoulder loops pictured here. They’re not material that would be included in a patch catalog but I thought them worthy for sharing here nonetheless.

Unfortunately Charlie isn’t the best photographer, so I must apologize for the less than great quality of these images.

Atta Kulla Kulla lodge has issued a second chenille.   Thanks to Darrell Green for telling me about this new issue.

The design is similar to the ”C1?”, but the chenilles are not individually numbered.    It was planned from the beginning to issue these unnumbered chenilles, once the supply of numbered ones was sold out.

Atta Kulla Kulla lodge adopted a fire fighter theme for this year’s conclave, honoring “Those Who Serve”.

Usually conclave themes tend to be a bit more lighthearted, so I’m expecting there is a story behind why the lodge chose this theme other than, “It was cool”.   Does anyone know the story behind the theme?
