Lodge 70: 2010 “First Event”
Tsoiotsi Tsogalii lodge started an event called “First Event” in 2009. This is a day long event held on the first Saturday after New Year’s Day, dedicated to both training and fun activities intended for a wide audience. The second “First Event” was held last Saturday. Thanks to Johnny Somers for the image of the patch for this year’s event.
In my opinion, this is one of the better portrayals of the lodge totem I have seen from this lodge. It also uses a simple but aesthetically pleasing color scheme, unlike some of the other issues from this lodge. Also, this patch is undated. Can anyone confirm whether or not this means the patch is intended to be used for more than one year?

I don’t think the lodge intended this patch to be used for multiple 1st Events. I think the omission of the date was an oversight. When the lack of date was mentioned, we had to verify that the 1st “First Event” patch was dated. There was not a large turn out at the event so I am uncertain if there will be a 3rd “First Event”.
