Lodge 117: 2009 Fall Fellowship Flaps
Since the National OA Committee clarified its policy regarding the use of separate flaps by “honor”, many lodges have dropped their use of Ordeal/Brotherhood/Vigil (OBV) flaps to be in compliance with this dictate. Croatan lodge was one of them. They previously had Brotherhood and Vigil service flaps along with an unrestricted trading flap. However, Croatan gave one last nod to tradition with the three flaps they issued for their 2009 Fall Fellowship. Thanks to Wesley Drennan for these images.
All three flaps use design used by the lodge for its standard flaps for over 40 years. The “Ordeal” flap had a red mylar (RMY) border. The “Brotherhood” and “Vigil” flaps used the traditional gold mylar (GMY) and silver mylar (SMY) border colors. As these patches specifically name an event, they will be listed on this site as events issues.
Listing data for these are as follows:

"Alice laughed: "There's no use trying," she said; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."



John check the date. I am pretty sure they were issued for the 2008 Fall. They were available for sale at the 2010 Conclave that Croatan hosted as a set.
Jason –
I’ve been told this was for 2009. I’ll ask again.
Not sure when they were issued, but the FLAPs themselves say 2009 Fall Fellowship. As Jason said they were for sale in the trading post at this years 2010 conclave held at croatan lodges Camp Boddie ( Camp Bonner).
