Lodge 296: 2008 Conclave

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on April 24th, 2008 at 12:02 am

296 S44Nayawin Rar had a surfer theme for the SR-7B conclave.   Their flap for this conclave, depicting the night hawk as a “surfer dude”.  This lodge usually uses a traditional or realistic depiction the nighthawk on its flap.  This flap breaks with that practice.

It has been reported to me that the lodge issued 400 of these flaps, instead of the 200 issued in recent past years.

Lodge 296: 2007 Fall Fellowship

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on December 31st, 2007 at 1:06 am

This is the second of two recent issues from Nayawin Rar lodge sent to me by Greg Grimes. This fellowship is an adaptation of the black and white motif used on several recent flaps from this lodge. They are proof that you can have a nice looking patch without using lots of colors.

Fall Fellowship should have been sometime ago, but I only just heard word of this patch just now. It seems my usual sources of information have let me down on these two latest patches. ;)

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

Lodge 296: 2006 Quality Lodge Flap

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on December 30th, 2007 at 1:05 am

Greg Grimes sent me word a couple of days ago of two new issues from Nayawin Rar lodge. The first of these was a lodge flap issued for the lodge achieving Quality Lodge status in 2006.

Some might think it odd that that lodge would issue a flap in late 2007 to honor their 2006 quality lodge status. When asked about this, I jokingly responded that the ability to make a quick decision is not a requirement to be a quality lodge.

Lodge 296: 2007 SR-7B Conclave Flap

Posted in Nayawin Rar 296, SR-7B Lodges by John E. Pannell on April 26th, 2007 at 3:31 am

This is the smallest lodge in our section yet they consistently bring about half their membership to the section conclave each year. Imagine if all lodges were as active.

Nayawin Rar adopted a Star Wars theme for their conclave delegation. Like Klahican and Tsoiotsi Tsogalii, their flap uses a minimal number of colors.
