Talidandaganu' #293 Lodge Issues - Jacket Backpatches

"J1" Old Style Backpatch In the fall of 1985, Talidandaganu' ordered a customized version of the old style Order of the Arrow back patch with our Lodge name & number. This six inch round patch was given to each member that attended the banquet on December 6th of that year. {Sent to members later in the mail}

"J2" Indian Affairs Team Backpatch In 1995 the Lodge Executive Committee voted on and approved an award system for members who served the ceremony and/or dance team of the Lodge. A Ceremony team member must attend 50% of the Indian Affairs team meetings in a given year, make their own outfit, and memorize & perform one speaking part in a ceremony {Similar are also required for dance team members}. After the first year the Jacket could be earned and purchased {this is a black baseball type jacket with the design silk screened on it}, then after the second year of service this back patch was awarded. Only 101 of these were received and the first was awarded at the 1998 Lodge banquet to David Chadwick.
