USS Ticonderoga February activity: 10th Anniversary Olympic Sport Festival
Our next USS Ticonderoga activity will be coming up on Saturday, February 18th. The crew voted to take the UTA Frontrunner down to Salt Lake City and attend the 10th Anniversary Olympic Sport Festival. This will be held at the Gateway Shopping Center and is free to the public. Wear your club or Star Trek t-shirts.
Ridding Frontrunner/TRAX:
The train will LEAVE the stations at the following times. Ogden- 1:16pm, Roy- 1:22pm, Clearfield- 1:31pm, Layton- 1:36pm. We will then arrive at the Salt Lake Station at 2:07pm. We will then hop on the next TRAX leaving the Salt Lake Station and should be at the Gateway in a matter of minutes. UTA offers a group pass for 4 people (roundtrip) for $13.50. This would be about $3.40 per person. By comparison a single round trip ticket would run between $8-9 per person so make arrangements with your fellow USS Ticonderoga members to maximize savings.
At the Festival:
We may be joined by some members of the Salt Lake chapters at this event. We plan to walk around and take in the sights at the festival. Depending upon time and events, we may also hit up the Clark Planetarium (which is also located in the Gateway). The festival itself ends at 6:00pm. We are planning to eat in the Gateway’s food court (think standard mall food court for selection and prices) for dinner. Afterwards we will hop on TRAX & Frontrunner to return home.
Star Trek Online demo at the next USS Ticonderoga meeting
Don’t forget that the next USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting is coming up on Wednesday, February 8th. We will have some guest speakers from the Seventh Fleet Star Trek Online guild (fleet). They will be showing us a demo of the Star Trek Online game on the projector. The meeting will be held at 7:00pm at the Weber County Library (25th and Jefferson) in the basement auditorium. Don’t forget to bring any show an tell items (I know that several of you received some new medals at the Admiral’s Banquet). We will be heading to the Village Inn afterwards for dinner. Bring your friends and prepare to have some fun.
Also February 8th is Ethan Phillip’s birthday. What is your favorite Neelix moment on Star Trek: Voyager?

Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet information
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!
January monthly meeting – planning our 2012 events
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.
