The USS Ticonderoga promotes The Next Generation 25th Anniversary viewing

On Monday, July 23rd the USS Ticonderoga will be going to the Tinseltown USA in Layton to promote the Next Generation 25th Anniversary Special.  They will be showing two TNG episodes and some behind the scenes of the upcoming blu-ray DVDs.  The address to the theater is 720 West 1500 North just behind the Layton Hill Mall.  For those of you who remember our Star Trek Nemesis promotion in 2002, it is the exact same theater.

Please show up at 6:30pm.  If you have not purchased your tickets, you can pick them up at the box office.  Please come in Star Trek uniforms and costumes (we have extra to loan out if you can contact us ASAP) or Star Trek/Club t-shirt.  In light of the recent events in Colorado, please do not bring any prop/toy weapons or cover your face in a mask or make-up.

We will be passing out flyers to promote the club, so come prepared to talk about the fun we have on the USS Ticonderoga.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

From the Captain: Food needed for Ticonderoga auction

Greetings, All!

Thanks again to those who attended the last meeting. It’s always good to see everyone.

As you all know, this coming Saturday, July 21, is the USS Ticonderoga auction. We are in serious need of people to bring food, or as Lt. Frank Buck has done, donate some cash to purchase needed supplies.

 

What we still need:
Taco shells
Tortillas
2# ground turkey (seasoned)
Shredded lettuce
Shredded cheese
Sliced olives
Diced onions
Diced peppers
Sour cream
Guacamole
Salsa/pico de gallo
Refried beans/black/pinto beans (your choice)

Drinks

Desserts

Thanks to Lt. (j.g) Brad Jacobs for providing the 10 # of seasoned ground beef.

In general, there are about 40 – 50 fleet members who attend, so please take that into consideration.

We are also in need of crock pots to keep hot food hot.

The ship is providing plates/cups/utensils.

If you have any items to donate to the auction itself, we are still taking those, as well. And we do have some cool stuff.

Please email me directly at Tico.Co.Erica@gmail.com to let me know if you are able to help with any of the above-listed items, ASAP.

Thank you again to all of you for hanging on over the last couple of years, proving once again the Ticonderoga is the toughest ship in the fleet.

Hope to see you all next Saturday!

Ticonderoga auction moved to July 21

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?

April USS Ticonderoga Activity: BBQ/ADVOT night

1 Comment

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.

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.

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.

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.
