Photos from our HopeKids fundraiser are now online

Site_MaintLog Entry: Stardate 67042.6.  Rear Admiral Stark recording. Our apologies for the delay in uploading the photos.  Our webmaster caught a stomach virus from the convention and it put him out of commission for a few days.  However we are now happy to report that all of the photos taken with the shuttle Fairbanks are now posted online.  CLICK HERE TO FIND THE PHOTOS

The USS Rendezvous had build the shuttle as part of their Star Trek fan film called The Inquiry.  After they had completed filming, Captain Trowbridge of the Rendezvous recommended that we use the shuttle to also fulfill one of our other primary goals as a Star Trek fan club, helping our community.  At the Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet she proposed running a photo booth with the shuttle at the upcoming Salt Lake Comic Con-FanX.  We discussed various charities and elected to support HopeKids of Utah and Idaho this year.

The fleet came together to help get the shuttle finished for the event.  Following out motto of “We do not stand alone”, members of all chapters pitched in to help.  They also helped when it came time to get the shuttle to Salt Lake (over 100 miles one-way) and especially to run the booth promoting both the fleet and HopeKids.

So we would like to give a big thank you to everyone from the fleet, HopeKids, The Salt Palace staff, Dan Farr and the Salt Lake Comic Con staff and to everyone who participated in this charity fundraiser.  Over $2,000 was raised for HopeKids and we look forward to helping them at future events.

Tally Ho!
