I have not previously included Section Conclave issues in the blog, since they are not listed in the Blue Book. However many NY OA collectors collect at least their own section if not other NYS sections as part of their collections. Since the purpose of the blog is to aid collectors of NY OA issues with information about new issues; I’ve decided to begin to include new Section Conclave issues as well.
Below is a scan of the 2005 Section NE 3A Conclave Patch. The Host Lodge was 417 Ganeodiyo. The Conclave was held at Camp Babcock Hovey and the theme was “Back to Treasure Island.”
Update July 2017:
Chris Carlson sends along a scan from the 2005 Section NE-3A Cocnlave.
This is the 2005 issued flap for the 2005 NE 3A section conclave. Hosted by Ganeodiyo, which merged with Ty-Ohni in 2010.
NYS Lodges in NE 3A include 30, 95, 159, 165, 339 and 417. there are also two PA Lodges 46 and 255 in the Section.

“To judge from the history of mankind, we shall be compelled to conclude that the fiery and destructive passions of war reign in the human breast with much more powerful sway than the mild and beneficent sentiments of peace; and that to model our political systems upon speculations of lasting tranquillity would be to calculate on the weaker springs of human character.” —Alexander Hamilton (1788)
Working on updating my collection checklist and I noticed you did not have listed, but… Ganeodiyo lodge #417, did issue a 2005 NE-3A event flap for the section conclave. Its white and black with a pirate skull and bones in the middle with red writing. I will work on providing a picture.
OAImages has the flap pictured here: http://www.oaimages.com/cgi-bin/buildpage.cgi?pp=417&dd=4&ii=2150
