Info on Lekau 77 dancer flaps
On of the things the internet helps with is it facilitates information sharing, duh. Well with all of our eBay listings we often get additional information about items we are listing. This is typically coming from straight from original sources. We’ve never had this before. I thought I would post a couple here that we recently received.
The first item is the dancer flaps from Lekau Lodge 77 out of New Jersey. 
Stephen J. Taylor writes
“This pre-FDL lodge flap from Lekau Lodge #77 was designed when I was Lodge Chief there in 1971-72. Very few were issued. If I recall correctly they were for new Brotherhood Members to boost our Ordeal to Brotherhood conversion rate and meant to honor Jim Trout, the Lodge’s champion hoop dancer. “

We listed the patch below as being an activity patch from lodge 325 because of the “potlatch” in the wording. This has been used for decades by several of the California lodges as the name for their events.

These patches were know as the “dancer flap”. You were given one as a Brotherhood Member and then one as a Vigil. That was it. If you patch was torn and frayed you could turn it in for a new patch but you could never have more than two. Lodge Advisor put old patches into the council fire.
