July USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting is Wednesday

The monthly USS Ticonderoga meeting is coming up on Wednesday, July 11th.  This will be held at 7:00pm at the Weber County Library-Main Branch on 25th and Jefferson in Ogden.  We will be in the basement meeting rooms.  Look for the USS Ticonderoga banner (seen on the right side of this website) hanging just outside the door.  Please bring any donations for the upcoming Ticonderoga action (which will be on Sat, July 21st).  This meeting is open to the public so bring your friends.  We will also be talking about the upcoming TNG theatrical event coming up on Monday, July 23rd (and how we want to promote it).

Executive Officer Dave Stock will also be attending the Fleet Meeting at the end of the month so if you have anything for him to bring up, please get it to him ASAP.

Happy Fourth of July

The USS Ticonderoga would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Independence Day.  Enjoy the parades, the fireworks, the good food and the time with your family and friends.  Please take a moment out of your day to thank the brave men and women who serve our country in the military, law enforcement and emergency services.  We can’t thank you enough for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Star Trek convention caption contest

Ok this one was to good to pass up.  The above photo is LeVar Burton at the Phoenix ComicCon that was held in May.  Several photos (and a really good video of the event) can be found at the Trek News website.  LeVar is listening to a “fan” ask him a question from the audience (the video explains who this is).  Before you watch the video, your challenge is to caption either the question OR what LeVar is thinking (or both).  Post your entries into the comments section and we will get a guest judge to declare the winner.

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

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.

April Monthly Meeting on the 11th

The USS Ticonderoga monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 11th.  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.
