At the USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting on June 13th it was announced that a scheduling conflict had come up with the upcoming auction date. It was decided by the Command and Crew to move the Ticonderoga auction to Saturday, July 21st. It will still be at the home of the Executive Officer, Dave Stock and it will still be at the same time. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

USS Ticonderoga meeting and auction information
The month of June brings about the USS Ticonderoga meeting and official monthly activity. The meeting will be at the standard date/time/location of the second Wednesday of the month (June 13th) at the Weber County Library main branch (25th and Jefferson in Ogden) at 7:00pm (look for us in the basement meeting rooms). If you have donations for the USS Ticonderoga auction, please bring them to the meeting so we can get them organized.
As you can probably guess, the USS Ticonderoga auction will be our official monthly activity for June. The auction will take place on Saturday, June 16th at 2:00pm. It will be held at the home of the Executive Officer, Dave Stock. The address is 1190 West 1700 South in Syracuse. There will be several members from the Seventh Fleet in attendance. Please bring friends and chairs and enjoy our company in the backyard. There will be a Taco Bar for dinner ($3.00/person or $10.00/family). Checks and cash will be accepted. The USS Ticonderoga charges no dues to join our Star Trek fan club (it already costs too much to be a Star Trek fan). This is the same policy with our parent organization, the Seventh Fleet. There are no dues to join our Star Trek family. We use this fundraiser to cover basic operational costs (website, printing, awards, supplies, etc.) and keep the club dues free. If you can help out, we would greatly appreciate it. As you can see from our picture, apparently Garak outbid Quark on one of the items, will you be outbid?
Star Trek and science for the win
This was posted on the USS Ticonderoga Facebook page by Scott Robison and was too good not to share. This is what happens when Star Trek fans put their minds together to get things done.

April USS Ticonderoga Activity: BBQ/ADVOT night
The USS Ticonderoga will be holding a BBQ and ADVOT night for it’s April activity. This will be held on Saturday the 21st at 5:00pm at the home of Captain Stark in Clearfield.
The BBQ is BYOM (bring your own meat) and a dish to share. The activity is also set up to help Ticonderoga crewmembers pass off various ADVOTs (merit sheets) needed for rank advancements. We will have copies of sheets available, study materials to look up answers (books, internet, episodes, etc.) and Admiral Stark has volunteered to sign off on the ADVOTs that you want to pass. At past events like this, several ADVOTs can be done in one night. If you haven’t had a chance to find out how easy this portion of the rank system really is in the Seventh Fleet, this is a chance to find out and have some fun with your friends.

It will be in the same standard location of the Weber County Library-Main Branch on 25th and Jefferson Ave. We will be meeting at 7:00pm in one of the basement meeting rooms. We would love to see everyone and don’t forget to bring a friend. Also we will be heading to the Village Inn on 12th Street after the meeting. See you there.
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!
