Archived version from 1999:
On January 1, 1997 the National Office reorganized several sections within the Southern Region:
According to JW Justice, of Wichita Lodge #35:
Ta Tsu Hwa 138 and Washita 288 (both from SR-3B) and Loquanne Allangwh 428 (from SR-2) were reassigned to SR-3A, which lost Wichita 35 to SR-2.
According to Bill Kethley, of Mowogo Lodge #243, the following is the new composition of SR-6 "South":
- Egwa Tawa Dee 129 (from SR-5)
- Mowogo 243 (from SR-5)
- Talidandaganu' 293 (from SR-6A)
- Waguli 318 (from SR-6A)
- Chattahoochee 204 (from SR-8)
- Ini-To 324 (from SR-8)
According to Bob Kearley:
The Dixie Fellowship (SR-5) lost Tomo Chi-Chi 119 and Echeconnee 358 to Section 4, while Egwa Tawa Dee 129 and Mowogo 243 were moved to a new SR-6 "South".
In Section 7, Iti Bapishe Iti Hollo 188, Catawba 459, and Eswau Huppeday 560 were moved to Section 5, while they will get three new lodges from Section 6B: Tutelo 161, Shenandoah 258, and Shenshawpotoo 276.
And finally, Section 7 will be split into 7A (VA lodges) and 7B (NC lodges).
According to Warren Williams, Section 9 was reorganized as follows:
- Comanche 254 (to SR-2)
- A-Booik-Paa-Gun 399 (to SR-3B)
- Hi'lo Ha Chy'a-La 413 (to SR-3B)
- Ahoalan-Nachpikin 558 (to SR-6A)
with the remaining five lodges now renamed Section 8A.
The eight remaining lodges of the old SR-8 are now Section 8B.
Special thanks to Barry Griffin of Egwa Tawa Dee Lodge #129 who first clued me in to the realignment when he told me that his lodge was changing sections.
