And now a word from Captain Erica Stark:
The 2012 Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet will be held on Saturday, January 28th in Richmond, Utah. This is a potluck banquet. Here is how the food, etc., will be handled.
There are 6 categories of items to bring, and 15 slots for each item, fleet-wide. The slots are first come, first served, so I need for you to choose your top 3 items. Commodore Henline will slot your name into an available slot/item, and I will pass the information back to you. Please only sign up if you will be attending. You can email your selections back to me.
Below are the categories:
1 – Main Dish – must be soup, stew or chili. 12 servings’ worth only, please.
2 – Salads – green, jello, potato, macaroni, etc. 12 servings’ worth only, please.
3 – Bread – rolls, etc. 12 servings’ worth only, please.
4 – Desserts – any. 12 servings’ worth only, please.
5 – Drinks – any. 12 servings’ worth only, please.
6 – Dishes – plates, bowls, utensils, cups, napkins. Enough of any one item for 12 people.
I can tell you that the main dish slots were filling up quickly at the fleet council meeting. Also, the given items are one per family/couple/individual. If you attend by yourself, you are responsible for 1 item. A couple is responsible for 1 item. A family is responsible for 1 item.
Remember that the dress code for the banquet is uniforms or best possible dress.
Please let me know your selections ASAP.
Also, if any of you have pictures of any 2011 ship activities, please send a copy to me. Each ship is again responsible for a 5-minute video report, and I need to have it ready to go by January 26th.
Thanks, all!
So it is time for the regular USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting to be held on Wednesday, January 11th. As per usual this will be at 7:00pm at the Weber County Library meeting rooms on 25th and Jefferson. Unlike other meetings, this meeting is a huge one for the crew. This may be the last chance to order a Seventh Fleet Calendar on it’s final run ($10 a calendar). Captain Erica Stark will have the latest information from the Seventh Fleet Council Meeting. But most important, this will be the meeting that the club as a whole gets to plan out all of our events that we want to hold for 2012. We will be talking about fleet banquets, fleet games, conventions (CONduit, Starfest and Star Trek Las Vegas) and more.
Bring your friends, bring your ideas and lets set a course into 2012.
I am really curious to see the entries for our next Star Trek caption contest. We found this photo on one of our hard drives and had to post it for the contest.
Congratulations to Lt. Frank Buck for winning the last Caption Contest.
Once again it is time for the annual USS Ticonderoga New Years Eve party. This year we are returning to the breakfast theme for our meal. The meat, eggs and utensils will be provided by other volunteers. We are using the last name to fill out the following food assignments.
Last name starts with A-E: Please bring Milk, juice or nog.
Last name starts with F-J: Please bring syrup, butter, jellies and condiments.
Last name starts with K-O: Please bring Fruit, coco or soda.
Last name starts with P-Z: Please bring bread, croissants, donuts and other pastries.
Any food can be brought that fits the breakfast theme.
The party starts at 7:00pm on Saturday, December 31st and runs until just after midnight. Lt. Frank Buck will be hosting the party at his home in Layton. Bring games, fireworks and your smiling faces as we ring in the new year.
The Command Staff and Members of the USS Ticonderoga wish a safe and happy holiday season to all of our friends and family. The members of the Seventh Fleet have always been known as our Star Trek family. Even if you are not a member of the Seventh Fleet, we have welcomed you with open arms as fellow Star Trek fans. We Do Not Stand Alone. We hope that 2011 was a good year for you and that 2012 will bring you many great memories.
Greetings everyone. The Seventh Fleet is holding a fundraiser by selling a custom printed 2012 calendar. It contains artwork and photos from the different Seventh Fleet chapters. There are dates of Seventh Fleet and chapter events. Star Trek anniversaries and special events. Since the Seventh Fleet supports local businesses, the calendar was published by a company based in Ogden.
The cost is $10/calendar. This calendar will be given a limited run based on the number of pre-orders turned into your Commanding Officer by Tuesday, December 20th. Checks can be written out to Dennis Hollinger. The calendar will be delivered on the last week of December. The image seen above is the cover for the calendar.
Wednesday, December 14th is the date for the USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting. As per usual it will be held at the Weber County Library-Main Branch (25th and Jefferson) at 7:00pm. We will be meeting in the basement class room. Besides this being the monthly meeting, it will also be our annual gift exchange. This year we are calling it the Chartreuse Mugato (think White Elephant). Home made items are encouraged. If you wish to purchase a gift, please do not exceed $10.
The winner of the December Caption Contest will be announced at the meeting.
As per usual, we will be heading out to the Village Inn on 12th Street for dinner/pie afterwards. This is one of the largest attended meetings of the year and would be perfect to bring prospective members to check us out. See you all there.
Today the Convention Chair for CONduit 22 announced that they have signed Tim Russ as the Media Guest of Honor for the convention. Tim Russ has also confirmed this on his official website. CONduit 22: The Time Lords of CONduit will be held on May 25-27, 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Tim is best known for his roll of Lt. Commander Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager. He also directed an episode of the series and provided his voice for several Star Trek video games. Tim also had other Star Trek roles on The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Generations. Tim has written for several Star Trek comics and directed/starred in the Star Trek fan film Star Trek: Of Gods And Men. Tim also directed and produced the Gene Roddenberry tribute film, Roddenberry on Patrol.
According to his IMDB website, Tim has also appeared in The Twilight Zone, Starman (TV series), Time Stalkers, Spaceballs, Beauty and the Beast (TV series), Alien Nation (TV series), Freddy’s Nightmares (TV series), Eve of Destruction, Journey to the Center of the Earth (TV movie), SeaQuest 2032, Spiderman (TV series) and provided his voice talents to many different video games.
Ok we haven’t done one of these in a while. It is time for another Star Trek caption contest. Take a look at this photo from the Deep Space Nine episode “The Magnificent Ferengi” and post an entry with what you think is being said. I’ll find a guest judge to pick a winner. Good luck.
Author/scriptwriter David Gerrold wrote several books and scripts for the different Star Trek series. If you do not know his name, I’d suggest clicking on the link in this post and read about his various contributions to our favorite series.
David posted this warning on his Facebook wall and asked that we pass on the information: “All right, all Star Trek fans — PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION. There is an “unproduced Star Trek script” being sold on eBay and at conventions, ostensibly written by DC Fontana. It is a phony. It is called “Stars Of Sargasso” and is about Joanna McCoy, and is credited to DC Fontana, intended for TOS Season 4. DC Fontana says it is fake. She never wrote any such script.” (end of quote from David)
This fake script has been put on the internet if you really would like to read it. You can find the story here.
