Muscogee lodge has issued a patch for their recent Spring Fellowship Thanks to Jeff Cook for sending me word of this new issue.

Like last year’s issues, the plan is for this year’s events patches to follow a seasonal theme. The Spring Fellowship patch appears to be shaped like a shamrock. The design features a fox in what appears to be a salt marsh environment.

At the Echockotee Lodge 200 Spring Fellowship last weekend, the Ceremonial Committee released their set of patches created as an incentive to increase participation in their programs. The set includes a pocket patch with a WHT background (X-21?; 250 made), to be sold for $7 each, in order to finance the incentive program, and a BLK background (X-22?; 100 made), to be given to those that participate in a ceremony as a character. The last piece is a jacket patch (J-3?; 100 made), to be given to those that participate in four ceremonies.

A couple of weeks ago Brad Hutto sent me a number of images of new issues from Skyuka 270.  The first of these are the rest of the 2007 activities patches for this lodge.

Skyuka produced two different patches for their 2007 Banquet.  The first version with a blue sun was already on this site as eA2007-1.  The second version has a yellow sun and I have numbered it eA2007-2, renumbering the Spring Fellowship and pre-Dixie patches accordingly.

There are also new patches for the 2007 Ordeal and Fall Fellowship.  All these patches follow the same general design of an American Indian shooting an arrow into the sky, with a mountainous background.   The colors of the mountains reflect the season in which each event was held.

Catawba lodge has adopted a super heroes theme for this year’s activity patches.    The first event of the year, Spring Fellowship, is not until the weekend of March 14th, but I have already been sent an image of the patch that will be issued.  The Spring Fellowship features “Meck” costumed as The Flash.

The fleur d’lis is kind of hard to see in an images, especially if you don’t know where to look. It’s on The Flash’s right boot.   The patch has a “laser cut edge” and was produced by Shelby Patch Company.

Thanks to Larry Banks, I have also been sent images of the rest of the 2008 activity patches for Catawba lodge.   I will post these later.   Blue Book data for the Spring Fellowship patch is as follows: 

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.

Jimmy Arthurs sent me images last night of a bunch of recent activities patches from Eswau Huppeday.   Among them were the 2007 activites patches from this lodge.  Thanks.

The lodge issued the customary participant and staff patch from the Carolinas Indian Seminar as well as patches for their Spring Fellowship, Fall Fellowship and Winter Banquet.

I guess this is a case of “better late than never”…

Thanks again to Jeff Cook for this image of the 2007 Spring Fellowship patch from Skyuka lodge. There seems to be some cross pollination of ideas amongst the lodges of the Palmetto State. ;)  Like Muscogee lodge, Skyuka is using a seasonal theme for this year’s event patches. This time around the archer is pictured in a springtime landscape. The lodge’s totem, the double headed thunderbird is pictured on the bottom part of the patch.

I can finally report on the 2006 activities patches from Unali’yi lodge.  Thanks to Brad Hutto for the images of these patches.

Following recent practice, four activity patches were issued for the lodge’s Spring and Fall fellowship and Ordeal.  The patches all follow an icthyological theme.

Hank Birdsong sent me a scan of this fellowship patch recently issued by Tsali 134

Blue Book data for this issue is:

Wahissa is one of the few North Carolina lodges in which it seems I do not have consistently great contacts. I hear about some stuff, but know I’m missing things.

Justin Stirewalt recently wrote me to tell me what I suspected: There are many Wahissa issues missing from both Blue Book and my site. His email gave me a brief list of what’s missing. Some of these are old issues that just never made themselves known to catalogue editors. Others are more recent pieces, where word of them has not yet gone much past the lodge.

Atta Kulla Kulla has issued a patch for their 2007 Spring Fellowship.   Once again, thanks to Darrell Green for making me aware of this issue.

Blue Book style information for this issue is as follows:

I think this is the last of the 2006 Carolinas events patches updates.

I know some of these updates are incomplete, but I am working with what I know.  Please see my comments after the listings for what I suspect is missing from this update.  Consider this a not so subtle hint and request: If your lodge events issues are not yet on OAImages.com, please send the information and scans along to me.
