Join us for Fleet Day 2014

Fun_newsLog Entry: Stardate 67080.5, Rear Admiral Carl Stark recording. We are starting a new tradition this year on Saturday, August 16th.  The Seventh Fleet Olympics is being replaced with the new Fleet Day.  We will be continuing to play some of the various games that we have enjoyed at the past games, however we are adding even more in order to help our Star Trek family grow together.  We will be dining together (food provided by the host chapter of the USS Ticonderoga) at a cost of $5/person or $3/kids.  A fundraiser auction with some of the collection from the late Captain Ruth Burns will be held.  We will also have several mini-panels and discussion groups to talk about a variety of fleet/chapter/member subjects.  A section will be set up to help people with rank advancements and merit sheets.  We will also have some water based events as well.  Feel free to wear your club or fleet t-shirts.  With luck this new tradition could even grow into a two or three-day campout.

So everyone (fleet members or not) are welcome to join us on Saturday, August 16th at Island View Park pavilion in Clearfield (1800 S Main St, Clearfield, UT 84015).  You can show up at 10:00am, lunch will start at 11:00am.  The auction will start at noon.   We will be at the park for the majority of the day.  We will be having a ton of fun and Admiral Hollinger will be holding his Admiral’s Challenge at the end of the day.  We look forward to seeing everyone and catching up with our Star Trek family.

Happy Anniversary to the USS Ticonderoga

Starship_newsLog Entry: Stardate 67030.9, Rear Admiral Carl Stark recording. On March 9, 1996, several Star Trek fans got together at the Davis County North Library in Clearfield and started the club that would eventually become the USS Ticonderoga.  This first club was called the Runabout USS Euphrates, a Chapter-in-Training off of the USS Kelly in Salt Lake City, Utah.  The Euphrates completed it’s mission on October 25, 1997 and was launched as the full chapter, the Intrepid-Class USS Ticonderoga.  The Ticonderoga is one of the founding chapters of Starfleet Command’s Seventh Fleet when it launched on January 1, 1998.  Because the Ticonderoga crew was proud of it’s time as a chapter-in-training, the club celebrates the anniversary of it’s club founding every year.

The Seventh Fleet would like to congratulate the staff and members of the Ticonderoga for running 18 years as a Star Trek family.  Tally Ho
