The 1989 Section NE-2A Conclave was the first conclave following the 1988 Section Realignments, this brought 2 New England Lodges into what had been a strictly NYS Section since the realignment from Area to Sections back in 1972.
The event was hosted by Ta-Oun-Ya-Wat-Ha Lodge #268 and was held at Camp Saratoga. The theme for the weekend was “We With Hearts and Wills United.”
In addition to the typical Pocket patch and neckerchief, there was also a particpation pin.
