Got this in from Marlin Moore and Roger Schustereit. It is great to get this kind of documentation at the time it happens with respect to a lodge’s first flap. Here’s what they found out:
———
More evidence that Charter Member flap is NOT the First Flap. At least that’s a good thing. www, roger

I was also at the Texas Trails office today and I asked about the charter flap–it has been ordered, but it has not yet come in.

For you CSP collectors, the council announced in a newsletter that the three CSP/person/year restriction would be lifted in 2004. But not yet–seems the executive committee has not yet met to approve this policy change. Thus, for now it is the same as before: the first three@$3.50 for council members, $10 for every CSP purchased beyond the initial three and $10 for out-of-council folks.

The remaining stock of Kotso 330 flaps are to be sold until exhausted. No decision yet on other items such as the dance team patch, etc.

I talked to the Abilene, TX, office about the new Penateka (561) flaps. They are limited to 5 patches per member per year. Don’t know how long this restriction will last, but Texas Trails Council is not trader friendly. I was able to get 1 Ordeal, 1 Brotherhood, and 3 Vigils. I could have gotten 5 Vigils. Didn’t ask about the availibility of the 1/life Charter member flap.
