Coming Soon New Elauwit Chapter Patch




Elauwit chapter just ordered their newest chapter patch.

They are having 200 made and a sale price is not yet known.

This is a little different style then what they have had in the past but it still showcases their iconic figure the "Naked Blue Man".

I anticipate the patches will be on sale by the Fall Fellowship in September and maybe my Tee Pee Saw group will get them sooner.

You may ask, What is the Tee Pee Saw group? It is a collection of collectors who I have gathered together to form one large buying group. When a chapter issues a new patch I am able to sell the patch (to my group) for the same price they sell to their members for, because my group purchases 100 patches at a time. I do not release the names or # of patches purchased of the collectors in my group. The group was developed to help chapters get their patches sold faster and for the collectors to get the patches in their collections sooner. I do have a couple of requirements to being a member of the group and I am currently accepting new members if you are interested in joining, please contact me.

Inagural Post

Well this is it my first blog posting.


Where do I start...What's up with Owen? What is this about?


Well, we have to start with how did I become known as "Owen". It happened almost nine years ago, when I went to work for my current employer and my two new bosses Karl and Chuck they both agreed I would be hence forth known as Owen. I had to know why they wanted to called me by anything other than my real name. It turns out both of them watched the 1987 movie "Throw Mama from the Train" with Danny DeVito and Billy Crystal over prior weekend before I started my first day and they liked Owen.

I won't talk much about work because it is not where I get my inspiration for this blog.

My interests are:
Boy Scouts of America - Eagle Scout
Order of the Arrow - Vigil Honor, Founder's Award
Investments - Stocks
Ebay - Patches - OA

I have been invloved/participating in the Boy Scouts for 26 years. I started in Cub Scouts when I was 8 and never stopped being involved. I earned the rank of Eagle Scout at 16 and went on too get 2 palms. While I was climbing the ranks to Eagle Scout I was elected to join the Order of the Arrow (OA) and I completed my Ordeal in the Fall of 1988. The OA is where I have given the most amount of time over the last 7 years. I will have plenty of time to talk about positions held past and present, fun times and the great friends I have met over the years.

Ebay is a favorite place of mine to visit, I visit at least once a day. I collect OA patches (this is a topic for the future), Central Florida Council items and anything else that jumps out at me.

Stocks - I like to find stocks that are good for long term investments and stocks that are good short term investments. Goal is to make money. It is a topic I like to discuss but do not have anyone to share my enjoyment with.

I am glad I can share with you some of my interests and thru this blog I will be able to keep you up-to-date on "What's up with Owen?". I plan to post once a day about anything going on in the world or just with me and my family.

Talk to you soon.

Owen
