Hailing Frequencies Open April 2023

April 1, 2023 admin Leave a comment

I’m very happy to type up this month’s entry for Hailing Frequencies Open. To find out why, just look at the Welcome Aboard and Congratulations To sections below. First our Star Trek family is expanding. Please make sure to help these new members feel welcome when you see them at Fleet Day coming up in June. There are also a large number of members who have earned rank advancements and medals. Your name can be on this list as well by talking with your commanding officer. They can let you know what you need to do to earn your next rank. These ranks are not just given out, they are earned through a lot of work and effort. These are something to be proud of when you pin on you rank insignia on your uniform.

It is not just club achievements that we celebrate in our Star Trek family. Real life events deserve to be celebrated as well. A special shout out (and thank you) goes to Ensign Richard Blanck of the USS Kelly. He will be taking his oath and be sworn into the Army National Guard on Monday, April 3rd. Thank you for your service. If you have an announcement that you would like to have posted here, just let your commanding officer know.

We have had several members of the USS Rendezvous confirm that they have reached BINGO in the 25th Anniversary Bingo that we are playing for the entire year. No announcement yet on who will reach BLACKOUT first. Who will make it first? Keep sending your photos into Bingo@SeventhFleet.org.

Science fiction author Peter David has written several Star Trek novels and comics. We’ve had the opportunity to meet him at FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention. Unfortunately he has been experiencing several compounding health issues, which unfortunately have lead to several medical bills. There has been a GoFundMe set up for him and we would like to encourage anyone who can to donate.

If you are not watching Star Trek: Picard season three, go watch it now. This season has been hitting all of the emotional highs and we can’t wait to see where this will end up. It is rumored that some of the characters may be spun off into a new series called Star Trek: Legacy.

We have been very happy with the crew reactions to the Seventh Fleet Bingo. This is our game we are playing for the entire year of 2023 to celebrate our organization’s 25th anniversary. Keep sending your photos into Bingo@SeventhFleet.org. We will be posting some very soon on this blog.

The crew of the USS Kelly are making plans to attend the Las Vegas Star Trek convention coming up on August 3-6. Details are still being worked out, but they would like to extend an invitation to go with them.

The third season of Star Trek: Picard has been knocking it out of the park. Every Thursday is a celebration to sit down and watch new Star Trek. We can’t wait for the upcoming seasons of Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and other seasons that will soon be released on Paramount+.

There are a couple of you who purchased the Seventh Fleet calendar and haven’t picked it up yet. If you are missing a calendar, please let us know. The commanding officers should have the calendars for the chapter orders.

Don’t forget that we are also active on our Seventh Fleet Discord Server. We have special channels for posting your bingo pictures, memes, events, rolplaying, and even a spoiler section if you can’t wait to talk about the latest episodes. Feel free to join us.

At the Admiral’s Banquet, there was an opportunity to order custom t-shirts with various funny Star Trek sayings on them. The cost is $15 a shirt. The following designs are available by emailing valkyrie63534@gmail.com.

Congratulations To:
Lt. Commander Jennifer Lee who was named the Executive Officer on the USS Valkyrie.

So the 2023 Admiral’s Banquet was a great success. If you missed it, you missed some good food and some good times with friends. We had a chance to watch a special video from Friend of the Fleet, Larry “Dr. Trek” Nemecek congratulating the members for making it to 25 years as a Star Trek club. Many thanks to the members of the USS Valkyrie for putting together the wonderful pasta bar that we all enjoyed. Captain Ann Knowlton ran another successful silent auction and we want to thank the City of Richmond for use of their wonderful facility. The USS Kelly is hosting the 2024 Admiral’s Banquet which is tentatively planned for Saturday, January 27th. They are already working on the plans for this event.

And speaking of the Seventh Fleet 25th Anniversary, we are celebrating all year long. At the banquet we had a presentation giving us the different challenges that we are all participating in for 25th Anniversary Bingo. This was inspired by the Enterprise Bingo seen on the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds episode “Spock Amok“. To find out the details, head over to our special page located at Bingo.SeventhFleet.org. There you can see the explanations of the different challenges and how you can get credit for doing them. Don’t forget, if you post them to social media, use the hashtags of #7thFleet25 and #WeDoNotStandAlone.

The release date for season three of Star Trek: Picard is Thursday, February 16th. The latest trailers have come out and several Seventh Fleet members are really interested in watching the final season.

Congratulations To:
Eric Moorer from the USS Kelly for being promoted to the rank of Ensign.
Julie Henkes from the USS Kelly for being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant (j.g.)

This yearlong event has twelve challenges with the titles listed below. If you complete five of the challenges, you will earn a BINGO. If you complete all twelve then you will earn a Blackout. You can complete one of the challenges by taking a photo with you doing the challenge. This can be sent/shown to your Commanding Officer, emailed to Bingo@SeventhFleet.org or posted on social media with the hashtag #7thFleet25 and #WeDoNotStandAlone.

Hailing Frequencies Open December 2022

As we reach the last month of the year, we look back with many fond memories. We were able to finally start getting together as a Star Trek family. We were able to attend conventions and club meetings. We are very proud of how this group stuck together and helped everyone out in challenging times. This is part of the spirit of community that we’ve been able to foster.

The due date to order your 2023 Seventh Fleet Calendar is December 18th. This is when your $10/issue needs to be delivered to your commanding officer. Remember that we need to reach a minimum of 50 calendars to get our price (which has not changed since we started doing the calendar 11 years ago).

The 2023 Admiral’s Banquet is quickly approaching. This will be held on Saturday, January 28th at the Richmond City facility in Utah (that we’ve held the banquet in the past). Since everyone liked the Noon start time at the last banquet, we will be sticking with this time for the next event. The USS Valkyrie will be hosting the event and the meal will be in the theme of a cantina. More details will be forthcoming, but mark your calendars to attend. This is one of the few fleet-wide events that we host.

And speaking of the USS Valkyrie, congratulations to Lt. Commander John Paskett who has been named as Acting Captain. Lt. Commander Seth Nielsen is now the acting Executive Officer. Captain Charles Corr is moving into a more active roll helping out the Admiralty with his Fleet Captain duties. Thank you to those leaders who have stepped forward to help out.

And finally, 2023 is the 25th Anniversary of the Seventh Fleet. This is an amazing achievement from the members as most clubs don’t make it to their second year. We plan to celebrate all year long by playing 25th Anniversary Bingo. If you’ve seen Enterprise Bingo from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, then you may have an idea of what this will be about. The full details will be released before the official start on January 1st. But the titles of the bingo entries are as follows.

45th Rule of Acquisition
Allamaraine
Best Served Cold
Directive 927
Do you Trust Me?
Ex Astris Scientia
GCEP
Quark 2000
The Scorch
The Sky’s The Limit

Hailing Frequencies Open November 2022

Where did October go? That month went by fast. We hope everyone had a great Halloween dressing up and playing tricks on friends. Now it is time for Thanksgiving and thinking about all of the things we are thankful for.

We are now taking orders for the 2023 Seventh Fleet Calendar. Thanks to our friends at Gordon’s Copy and Print we will be able to keep our prices the same as the were since we started the calendar in 2012, which is $10 an issue. We have to sell a minimum of 50 calendars to get this price. If you would like to order one, please contact your commanding officer.

The USS Kelly is holding an auction and food drive on Saturday, November 5th. This will be at the Fiiz Drinks located at 2350 West 4700 South (just off of I-215) in Taylorsville. There will be homemade baked goods. Star Trek and sci-fi collectibles will be sold as a fundraiser (a great way to get holiday gifts).

Who enjoyed the third season of Star Trek: Lower Decks? If you haven’t seen the last episode of the season, there is an after-credits scene (dun, dun, dunnnnnnnn). The first episode of the second half of Star Trek: Prodigy season one is out and now we know the threat that The Diviner has now unleashed. How will the crew of the USS Protostar get out of this predicament? And a lot of Seventh Fleet members cannot wait to see the third season of Star Trek: Picard in February. Thankfully there are other episodes to watch while we wait . On PlutoTV, the Star Trek channel will be expanding with Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine joining Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Discovery on the free streaming service.

The Admiralty held the 2022 Seventh Fleet Day on July 30th at the Richmond City Building in northern Utah this past Saturday. Despite a broken foot by Admiral Stark (be careful coming down stairs) it went pretty well. We had a ton of fun talking with each other and trying out the various science and engineering experiments that made up the games. Congratulations to the USS Valkyrie for taking home the Bragging Rights Trophy. They beat out the USS White Buffalo in the final heat with the mousetrap car races.

The third season of Star Trek: Lower Decks will premier on August 24th on Paramount+. If you haven’t seen the trailer, you’ll find it on YouTube. We can’t wait to find out how the Lower Deckers get the crew back together and rescue Captain Freeman.

We don’t know where our booth will be at FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention, but we have been notified that our booth space has been reserved. The USS Pulsar is coordinating volunteers for this year. If you would like to volunteer, please contact your commanding officer.

Fleet Day 2022 is coming on July 30th

July 25, 2022 admin Leave a comment

It is time for the annual summer event of the Seventh Fleet. Fleet Day is a time of games, food, friends and fun. It will be held on Saturday, July 30th at the Richmond City Offices and nearby park in Richmond, Utah. The opening ceremony will start at 10:00am. Lunch, which is walking tacos, will be held at Noon and the entire event should be wrapped up by 6:00pm. There is no cost for the meal but there will be a donation jar if you are inclined to help out.

We are asking for anyone who would like to bring a dessert to share to please do so. Please list the ingredients of the dessert.

This event is open for all ages and families. It is not limited to Fleet members so this is the perfect opportunity to bring family members, friends and interested recruits to check out the group. If you haven’t RSVPed you can still attend.

This year the Admiralty is in charge of the games. Let’s just say there are quite a few different activities planned. There is a track for adults and kids. One thing that is different is that the Admiral’s Challenge is already in the hands of the chapters. Contact your Commanding Officer for details.

Captain Ann Knowlton of the USS Rendezvous is coordinating another silent auction like the one that was held at the Admiral’s Banquet. Each chapter is invited to bring up to five items to be auctioned off with the proceeds going to that chapter. This will be a cash only event.

The uniform of the day will be club t-shirt or any Star Trek/geeky shirt. There are some outdoor events so please dress for the weather and come prepared to have fun.

It was so good to see everyone at the 2022 Admiral’s Banquet hosted by the USS Rendezvous. We had not held an in-person banquet since 2020 for obvious reasons. We had a blast watching the various videos and participating in the silent auction.
