Ship's Meeting Shady Oaks BBQ, Ft Worth, TX A very fun meeting this month. Lots of things happened. First, Alysia Strickland & Glen Wilkerson both joined the ship as Local members. Glen is a member of the USS Joshua, and he will maintain his rank from that fan club. This brings our membership up to 26 National members, 11 Local, and two Honorary, for a total of 39. BDR Clark's new Voyager-style uniform was talked about; CDR Clark took a few weeks to make it, and has offered to make similar ones for anyone who wants one. The ship has $94.75 in our treasury, thanks to dues payments, donations, and $47.68 in tribble sales at Dallas Comic & Pop Expo. There were two winners of our monthly Trivia quiz (this month, it was "Gate, Wars, or Trek") As always, we discussed upcoming activities, including April's Game Day at Sci-Fi Factory, the Promotions/Awards "Spring Dining Thing" at the Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and more. We also discussed recent activities: Lt Cross gave an After Action Report on A-Kon, BDR Clark gave an After Action Report on the USS Artemis' commissioning, as well as the Dallas Comic & Pop Expo (who have invited us back!) BDR Clark also gave Letters of Commendation to LT Cross & ENS Gabbert for their above-and-beyond efforts at DCP. ENS Amanda Fralicks has expressed a desire to step down as Chief Science Officer; as per the Ship's Articles (General Order 3.1 Special Elections, A. Department Head) the Notice of an Open Department Heads position will be announced at the April meeting & published in the March newsletter. Letters of Intent will be required for those interested in the position by 15:00 hours 17 May 14 (Stardate 11405.17/1500) Meanwhile, ENS Gabbert will serve as Acting CSO. Clark, commanding Regulator, out. Commissioning Ceremony, USS Artemis NCC-75635 I Fratelli's, Irving, TX It was my honor and privilege to participate in the USS Artemis' commissioning as a full chapter in STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association. Captain Mayes has a fine ship, and I wish him and his crew well in their endeavors. It was also awesome to visit with so many of my fellow STARFLEET friends, including GEN. Sam Black, VADM Marian L. Murphy, COMM Reed Bates, FCAPT Lloyd Bates, FCAPT Penelope McFadin, and many others. On a personal note, after the ceremony CDR Tracy Clark and I stopped in Grapevine on our way home to watch "Mr. Peabody and Sherman"; we didn't bother changing out of our uniforms. Several people saluted me (poorly), and one nice couple who sat in front of us asked us many polite questions about STARFLEET (and about what the heck we were dressed up for). An awesome movie (watch for the Back to the Future reference) to top off the awesome day. Clark, commanding Regulator, out. Attentive crewmembers may notice two additional LOCAL members in the crew roster. Please welcome Michael Leahy and Matthew Arment. Both are part of our Pennsylvania detatchment, and have been (at least temporarily) assigned to Security. As both of them have full names, one hopes they are immune to the "Red Shirt Syndrome", and I plan not to send them on any landing parties that take place before the opening credits...
Clark, commanding Regulator, out Landing Party: Dallas Comic and Pop Expo Richardson, Tx The hard-working crew of the USS REGULATOR attended the inaugural Dallas Comic & Pop Expo (DCP) at the Richardson Civic Center. In attendance were Ensign Collin Gabbert, Commander Tracy Clark, Brigadier Tank Clark, and Lieutenant Michael Cross (who served as the Officer of the Deck for this activity.) We also brought out quite a few tribbles, which we sold -- or occasionally gave away -- to attendees. Other props we brought included the Captain's bat'leth, a couple of tricorders, a communicator, several phasers, and some books of usual interest. In addition to mannng our table, we also served as volunteers at DCP. Our Landing Party guarded restricted areas & other access points, helping convention staff and attendees. Several people expressed interest in STARFLEET, and we interacted well with convention staff, attendees, and people from the other booths. Our neighbors to our right were the 501st Legion, and to the left were a group selling cupcakes to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. Special mention: Ensign Gabbert had worked his civilian job all night the night before the DCP, and stayed awake and helpful all day long. His dedication to duty is exemplary, and in the highest traditions of STARFLEET and the USS REGULATOR. Also, Lieutenant Cross worked very hard as the point of contact for the ship with the DCP. It was through him that we got the opportunity to attend and work the DCP, and it was his contacts with the organizers and staff of the DCP that brought us to the expo. On Sunday, he was the only member of the REGULATOR able to attend, so he ran the booth alone. This hard work and dedication to the ship and to STARFLEET is praiseworthy, and in the highest traditions of the service. Clark, commanding REGULATOR, out. |
