Tsoiotsi Tsogalii lodge recently issued three two-part sets for their participation in this Summer’s ArrowCorps5 events in Virginia and Wyoming. All three sets feature the same simple design, a hawk in flight. Only the border colors differ.
According to the lodge, there will be 900 sets with a black (BLK) border sold to anyone with the requisite amount of money. 300 sets with a red border will be available only to those participating in the events. In addition 100 sets with a silver mylar (SMY) border will be sold, packaged with a red and black bordered set. In total, there will be 1000 BLK, 400 RED, and 100 SMY sets made.

"Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe.
This single statement took the scientific world by storm. It completely revolutionized it. So many mathematical conferences got held in such good restaurants that many of the finest minds of a generation died of obesity and heart failure and the science of math was put back by years."

O-Shot-Caw 265 has released their multiple sets for the lodge’s ArrowCorps5 contingent. Two of the sets were available for sale as fundraisers, while a third set was distributed to the contingent only, at 2/ person.

Woody Woodruff recently met me at my home for lunch. He also brought along some of his more recent flaps to compare with what is already on this site. He brought to my attention this “Sponsor” flap from Croatan lodge that has not been previously listed on this site.
The previous sponsor flap, listed as S57?, has a tan border. This newer piece has a light blue border. He did not know when it was issued. We could only guess its proper place in the ordering of this lodge’s flaps based upon his having the piece for a year or so and the timing of other sponsor issues. The “X6?” was issued in 2005. The “S57?” was issued before the 2006 Conclave flap. So I am placing this piece as “S60?”, just before the 2007 Conclave flap.

"We have scarcely gotten home ... when our children's sneezes greet us, skinned knees bleed after waiting all day to do so. There is the bellyache and the burned-out basement bulb, the stalled car and the incontinent cat. The windows frost, the toilets sweat, the body of our spouse is one cold shoulder and the darkness of our bedroom is soon full of the fallen shadows of our failures."

AOL Block Removed
Some here might be aware of the problems some users of this site have experienced, namely in getting communcations from me, especially if they had AOL addresses. In short AOL has been blocking email from this site's server since early this year.
I can finally report good news on this front. I received this message from an "AOL postmaster" this morning:
The block on the IP has been removed and please allow 24 hours for the block to be cleared.
Thank you,
Sridhar
AOL Postmaster.
The block has been removed. I will update the subscription pages on my site to reflect this later today or tomorrow.

Patch Collecting Posts
September 30th, 2008
Adding to the Collection
Since my collecting interest is very restricted, it's not often I get to add to my personal collection. This patch came in the mail to me today. It was issued last weekend at the Atlanta Trade-o-ree.
Bullions are rather unique items, a synthesis of both wire work and traditional embroidery. There aren't very many different ones. Lodges tend to issue there in small quantities. Some of them are very scarce.
I think this piece turned out nicely, for the most part. If I had a list of my favorite bullions this one would probably rank high on it. Cahuilla 127 B2 probably is still my favorite among the recent bullions.

Ed Harris Memorial TOR Report
by skyloo442
The Portland, Oregon (Ed Harris Memorial) Trade -o- Ree has just ended. I want to thank all of those that attended and those that helped put on this event. We accomplished my two main goals - raise some money for the council and provide a great trading atmosphere for all of those that came.
We had some people that traveled a great distance, Dean Gross from Ohio, The Marvins from California, Bruce Lee from Wyoming and many from Washington.
Some great pieces exchanged hands either by trading or the small informal auction that was held. Bruce is going home with a Hyas Chuck 442 N2 (A hard piece in the NW and overall), Another member went home with a Hyas Chuck F2 (Hard to find, especially mint). Some choice Washington classic flaps also changed hand, and I picked up some classic Idaho flaps and some new issues from Idaho as well.
The TOR was well attended but did not reach the attendance goal I had wanted, but we came very close. Next year we will do it again with some improvements, especially now that I have a quality assistant and a very good registrar. Stay tuned for my announcement for next years TOR. Until then I hope to see many of you at the Western Washington TOR at the end of February.

1955 Area 3B Conference
by Dave Scocca
In August of 1955, Eriez Lodge #46 hosted the lodges of northwestern Pennsylvania for the Area 3B conference at Camp Sequoyah, in Springfield Township near the shores of Lake Erie. The patch for the conference was a white felt round with a silk-screened red and black design.
This is among the largest early conclave patches, with a diameter over four inches.
