September marks several special anniversaries for our Star Trek family. The one that most people will know about is the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek The Original Series that premiered on September 8, 1966. Admiral Stark has sent out a question to the members of the fleet, how are you celebrating this special event? There are special presentations back in the theater, marathons and special episodes on H&I and MeTV. Special presentations in many different chapters and conventions. Go have fun on this anniversary and share with us the fun you had.
On September 1 is the 40th Anniversary of the USS Kelly. This is a major milestone that was accomplished by all of the current and past members of this proud chapter. This club was built by the members, for the members. Ideas for activities, newsletter articles, websites, club t-shirts and jackets, games and community service projects all came from the suggestions that members made. Be proud of the club you made, and feel free to make suggestions for the future. There will be many more years to come and you’ll help shape it. There will be a party held on September 19 in Murray, UT.
FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention is coming up on September 24-26 at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, Utah. And the Seventh Fleet will have a big presence there. First, we will have our booth back in club row within the vendor hall. To celebrate the 60th Anniversary we will have the Captain Kirk’s Command Chair that was built by our own Admiral Hunsaker and the crew of the USS Rendezvous. We will have a special add on for the chair this year. As per usual, we are using this to promote our community service charter. We will be raising funds for local food banks that have been hit hard in these hard economic times. The USS White Buffalo is also co-running the Artemis Bridge Simulator at the same location they did last year. Volunteers are needed for both locations. Please let your Commanding Officer know if you are willing to assist. Then on Friday, September 25th at Noon, we’ve been invited to participate in the 60 Years of Star Trek Fandom panel where several Seventh Fleet members will be talking about our organization. There will be members from Crewman to Admiral talking about their participation within the group. And, of course, we will have lots of members in their cosplay at this convention.
One of the ways that members of the Fleet can earn Leadership Promotional Merit Points is by voting in local and national elections. Voting gives us a voice in the future that we want to see come about. To vote, you need to make sure that you are registered. If you are 17 years old now and will be 18 by November 3rd, you can register to vote. If you are registered, it’s a good idea to double-check your registration to make sure it is current. And then once you’ve voted, submit it on your duty report. Remember, we don’t need to know what you voted for, just that you participated in the election process by voting.
If you are looking for more information about us feel free to look around this website. Please visit our Online Interest Form (which is undergoing changes so you can also email us at Join@SeventhFleet.org) and let us know which chapter you would like to have reach out to you. You can also talk to us on our Facebook page, on our Discord server or by following us on our BlueSky account.
