Lodge 116: 2008 Spring Fellowship

Along with the 2007 activity patches, Brad Hutto recently sent me an image of the 2008 Spring Fellowship patch from Santee lodge. Santee lodge has had a Winter banquet patch before its Spring Fellowship in recent years. So, I am presuming this is the lodge's second activity patch for 2008.

The patch design prominently features the lodge's Carolina Parakeet totem. In addition it features a small representation of the state of South Carolina, a palmetto tree, and crescent moon which are all commonly found on the lodge's flaps. The patch also commemorates Santee lodge's 70th anniversary.

OA Song - Original Words

The music to the OA song has been used in many places since it was first composed by Alexis Lvov in 1833 as the Russian (Tsarist) National Anthem. A performance of this orignal anthem can be found in MP3 format at the link below. Does your lodge sound like this when they sing? *grin*
