Hailing Frequencies Open October 2022

Thanks to all of the volunteers who helped out at our FanX booth. We were able to raise a significant amount for the American Cancer Society. Captain Joe Coleflesh of the USS Pulsar will be delivering it soon. We hope that a thank you letter will be coming soon. AT the booth was a photo op with a detailed Star Trek: Strange New Worlds transporter pad. This included sounds and a transporter effect displayed on the backdrop. The Artemis bridge simulator organized by the USS White Buffalo was also a success.

If you are checking out the organization after visiting with us at FanX, feel free to look around and ask questions. We would love to have us join the fun at one of our many upcoming activities.

The USS Delaware also successfully helped out with the Star Trek Day at the West Valley City Library with Star Trek actress Mary Rice in attendance. There were also representatives from the USS Kelly and the USS Ticonderoga.

News from Star Trek Day, Star Trek: Prodigy will release new episodes starting October 27th. Star Trek: Picard season three will premier on February 16, 2023. Carol Kane is joining the cast of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds in season two as Chief Engineer Pelia. Hasbrow is releasing a Star Trek nerf phaser rifle and phaser pistol.

September is finally here and it is a busy one. There will be a Star Trek Day on September 8th (with some fans going to the Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn in theaters), a special Star Trek Day at the West Valley City Library on Saturday the 10th and FanX: The Salt Lake Comic Convention on the 22nd to 24th of the month. Not only will we be at booth 2278 (right on the main corridor just before the celebrity autograph section) but the USS White Buffalo will be running the Artemis simulator in one of the gaming rooms at the convention. The USS Pulsar is taking the lead on the booth with the American Cancer Society being the selected charity for this year. If you would like to volunteer for either of these sections, please contact your department chief.

As mentioned above, the West Valley City Library will be hosting a Star Trek Day on Saturday, September 10th. This will run from Noon until closing and local Star Trek actress, Mary Rice, will be a guest. Because of this, we are counting this event as a Star Trek convention for rank and award purposes. The USS Delaware is taking the lead for this event but it is open for any Star Trek fan to attend.

Star Trek: Lower Decks season three is out and if you haven’t seen any episodes yet, you will love catching up. Don’t forget to watch the after show with Wil Wheaton and any of the Easter Egg videos found on YouTube. They have added to the show.

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.

Hailing Frequencies Open July 2022

We are excited because July 30th is our annual summer event known as Fleet Day. It is a series of games, food and fun where the entire Star Trek family gets together. This event is open to everyone no matter the membership status. If you have family members or recruits that are wondering what the club is about, this is the event to show them. The opening ceremony will start at 10:00am. Lunch will be served at Noon and the Admiral’s Challenge and awards will be completed by 6:00pm. This will be held at the Richmond City Office (where we held the Admiral’s Banquet back in 2018). This is only one of two Fleet events the entire year so this is a wonderful opportunity to see our fellow members.

The ending of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had a lot of us wondering what will happen next? It also made us sad because there is no new Star Trek episodes coming out for a little while. The teaser for the next season of Star Trek: Lower Decks seen in The Ready Room after show only made us want to use a time crystal to get to the next episode. Season Two of Strange New Worlds has already wrapped up filming so we hope to hear a release date soon.

Hailing Frequencies Open June 2022

Work continues for Fleet Day which will be held on Saturday, July 30th. The location will be the Richmond City Office (where we held an Admiral’s Banquet back in 2018) and the park next to it. We will be holding several games and events. A lunch of walking tacos and salad will also be served. Get your RSVP into your Commanding Officer so we can prepare the proper amount of food. This is one of two Fleet events for the year and is like a big family reunion. There will be a lot of members in attendance and it is open to anyone who wishes to attend.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been knocking it out of the park on the episodes that we’ve seen so far on Paramount+. We can’t wait to see where the adventures will take us next. We also enjoyed the ending to Star Trek: Picard season two. The third season has already been filmed and will include several alumni from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Admiral Dennis Hollinger and Vice Admiral Carl Stark lead a contingent of Seventh Fleet members to the last StarFest in Denver. It was a bittersweet moment. We had opportunities to meet up with our extended Star Trek family in Denver and remember all of the good times of conventions past. StarFest was one of the last of the fan-run conventions. It was ran for fun and enjoyment of our various fandoms. Something that seems to be missing from the large scale conventions. A big thank you to the Walker family and all of the volunteers who put on a great convention. So long and thanks for all the fish.

Congratulations To:
Crewman 2nd Class Julie Henkes (USS Kelly) for completing the Deep Space Nine Academy Exam.
Crewman 2nd Class Julie Henkes (USS Kelly) for earning a promotion to Crewman 1st Class.

The Admiralty, which got roped into running the 2022 Fleet Day, has been working hard on putting the event together. After our last planning meeting, I can’t wait to see how this day of games and friends turns out.

At our recent Admiral’s Banquet, Crewman 1st Class Eric Moorer was awarded the Federation Medal of Honor after his actions saved the life of a co-worker. Acting Captain Jill Bogler reported that the award was presented to C1 Moorer at the April USS Kelly meeting.

In a sad note, in May 2022 the last Starfest convention will be held. For those of you who have never heard of this, shame on you. Starfest is a convention that has been run for 45 years by the same family company (Starland). Admiral Stark called it “The Dragoncon of the west that you’ve never heard of.” The event had grown to multiple hotels and con-within-a-con festivals. Unfortunately, the events of the past to years, rising costs in getting hotel space and guests and the family growing older contributed to the decision in making this the last party. This is a shame really since these conventions were really a family reunion for the various fans of different genres and shows. We got to meet several fans who became members of our extended Star Trek family. Members of the Seventh Fleet would caravan to Denver to attend this event since the early 1990’s. Thank you to the Walker family and Starfland for all of the many memories. We are looking forward, even in sadness, to the last Starfest.

The USS Kelly will be holding it’s annual “Kelly Kampout” on July 15-17 and they have opened it up for any Seventh Fleet member who would like to attend. Contact the Kelly’s Executive Officer, Lt. Commander Dawn Woods for details.

Yea, we didn’t do a Hailing Frequencies Open in January. The month had been so busy plus recovering from the holidays that we took it off. Not to worry, the special dates that would have been posted then will be celebrated now.

The Admiral’s Banquet had to be postponed for obvious reasons. Thanks to the efforts of the USS Rendezvous we have a new date for the banquet. It will be on Saturday, March 26th at 2:00pm. This will still be at the Richmond City facility that we’ve used in the past with the theater.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has a premier date. We will all be able to enjoy it on Paramount+ on Thursday. May 5th. We are very excited for this new Captain Pike series to come out. We’ve been really enjoying Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Discovery.

Hailing Frequencies Open December 2021

Wow, where has this year gone? It seemed like just last week was the Fourth of July celebration. All things considered, 2021 has been a much better year than (shudder) the year that shall not be named. With the help of vaccines and safety measures, we’ve been able to start having activities in person again. While we are not out of the woods yet, it is much better when we can see the members of our Star Trek family in person.

Orders for the 2022 Seventh Fleet Calendars are still being taken. The cost is still $10 an issue. To order one, get the money into your Commanding Officer no later than Saturday, December 18th. This calendar will have various fleet and chapter events listed. There is also listings for area conventions and holidays. 2022 will be the tenth year in a row that we will be publishing the Seventh Fleet calendar.

The first season of Star Trek: Prodigy is currently on break with the next episode coming out on January 6, 2022. The series has already been picked up for a second season. The fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery is currently airing with several interesting episodes so far. As of this blog post, we have not received air dates for the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds or the second season of Star Trek: Picard.

On a sad note, the Seventh Fleet would like to extend our personal condolences to Aaron Kehn for the loss of his mother in an automobile accident. We do not stand alone.

Please be safe for the holidays. We would like to see everyone on Saturday, January 22nd for the Admiral’s Banquet in Richmond, Utah.

Congratulations To:
Admiral Dennis Hollinger on the birth of his grandson on November 16th.
Seth Nielsen of the USS Valkyrie for promotion to the rank of Lt. Commander.
Lt. Commander Jill Bogler-Patterson for scoring 82% on the Next Generation Commander’s Test.

Hailing Frequencies Open November 2021

For the tenth year in a row we will be releasing the Seventh Fleet Calendar. Images from this calendar were taken or created by members of the Fleet. We will be able to keep the price at $10 a calendar with the money due to your Commanding Officer by December 18th. This will have various dates for club events, local conventions and various holidays. A big thank you to Crewman Jeremy James for his wonderful assembly work and Captain Ross Trowbridge for designing the cover.

The end of the second season of Star Trek: Lower Decks was a bit of a shocker. The pilot episode for the new series, Star Trek: Prodigy was really beautiful. It is a computer generated animated series which looks really interesting. Why is the USS Protostar lost so far from Federation space?

November is the time of Thanksgiving. We would like to let everyone know how grateful we are for their friendship. Your creativity has inspired us. Your participation has made our efforts worth it. Being you has added to our Star Trek family. Thank you for being a member of Starfleet Command’s Seventh Fleet.
