Tipisa Native American Weekend (TNAW)

Tipisa Native American Weekend (TNAW)

This is the 2nd time this event will be held, but it is the 3rd time we have produced a patch for the event. This years event will be February 5-7, 2010 at Camp La-no-che in Paisley, FL.

As of January 29th the event has 600+ pre-registered. This will make it the largest TNAW ever. Only 500 patches ordered. The patches will be given out one per person and any extras purchased prior to the event, they will be mailed to you if you do not pick them up at the Spring Conclave in March. If you requested more patches at the event they will be available thru dinner at the Spring Conclave, if not picked up before dinner starts then the patches will be for open sale when the box opens again for crackerbarrel.

The patches are $4 each, to request additional patches all you have to do at TNAW is signup at the Lodge box for the number of patches you would like. You are not paying for the patches in advance and will be able to purchase them at the Spring Conclave. As stated above if you do not purchase the requested amount before dinner on Saturday they will go on open sale the next time the lodge box opens.

Look forward to a great weekend!

New Joint Patch for Waga HLakgo & Elauwit Chapters

New Joint Patch for Waga HLakgo & Elauwit Chapters

This patch is for the Apopka Shores District of Central Florida Council. The District was a merger of two districts as of January 2010 and the two chapters involved do not merge till May 2010 officially. This is why the Cook-o-ree has both chapter names on it. The OA has no specific role in the camp-o-ree.

The non-staff patch will sell for $4 each and if you are interested in any, please let me know. Their are a limited number of staff patches available and those are $10 each for purchase. All proceeds of the patch go to help fund the cook-o-ree.

The event is March 5-7, 2010 at Rybolt field @ Camp La-no-che. If you like food this is the event to join. They are having a chili cookoff and many other events throughout the day. Look forward to a great weekend.
