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.

December monthly meeting and annual gift exchange

1 Comment

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.

Star Trek News

Fake Star Trek script warning

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.

Happy Thanksgiving and November Activity

Greetings Everyone.  From the many members of the USS Ticonderoga, we would like to wish you and your family a safe and happy Thanksgiving Day.   We hope that you have the opportunity to get together with family and express all of the things that you are thankful for.  Lets also give out our thoughts and prayers to those who could not be at home with family on this important holiday.

On Saturday, November 26th is the USS Ticonderoga monthly activity. Members of the shuttle White Buffalo from Tooele are coming up with their Star Trek simulator that is run on multiple computers.  Various people can take up different bridge positions seen on the show as we run through various combat scenarios.  This will be shown off at the home of Dave Stock in Syracuse (on Antelope Drive).  This will start at 6:00pm and run until ????  If you want to work off some frustrations from the holiday weekend and fighting the zombie mobs on Black Friday, this is the place to be.
