Third Week Patch Auction
Wednesday July 26, 2008
During the Patch Auction held during the third week of camp, Monaken Lodge will be auctioning off five Rimmey Oval Printed Patches. These printed patches are different than the regular Rimmey Oval patches in terms of how they are made.
There are only 25 of these printed patches made and 5 will be auctioned off at the third week patch auction, 5 at the Fall Ordeal, and 5 at the Woodchuck Ordeal. 10 patches will be saved for future auctions. The proceeds from the Rimmey Oval Printed Patch auctions will go towards the renovations at Rimmey Lodge.
Please join us at the third week patch auction so you can bid on this one-of-a kind patch. The auction will take place between 6:30-7:00pm on the Trading Post Porch.
For more information or if you would like to help with the ceremonies, please talk to the OA Camp Chief
