ORCA Annual Patches

ORCA initially made available a generic patch that was first available in 1994. In 1997, an annual patch program was initiated. Those still available are so noted. All patches are 4" in diameter, and are embroidered on cloth. ORCA members can order a patch from the Secretary-Treasurer. The cost is $6.00. Send your check or MO to: Roger Schulz, 160 Shoreline Walk, Alpharetta, GA 30022, or order with your credit card using PayPay through the ORCA Store.
