Commander Marci Jansen reporting.
The following subspace communiqué was received from the office of Admiral Robert Westfall on stardate 92257.31:
“Please join me in welcoming a new Shakedown Chapter to the 7th Fleet, 26 August 2014.The USS Sirius NX-1744, a Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser, is based in Horseheads, NY (USA) and is under the command of CMDR Marci Jansen. The Sirius' mothership is the USS Serling, also out of the 7th Fleet.”
Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve officially launched! I can’t tell you how happy and proud I am that we’ve all pulled together and made this happen! To those of you who have already joined our ranks, thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those of you who haven’t – what are you waiting for?! Beam aboard!
On the heels of that fabulous announcement, I have a few of my own.
First, we are looking for a new meeting place. I’m following up on several leads for a space for us, but for the time being, meetings will be held at my house, at 139 Owens Street in Horseheads. Owens Street is off of Lake Road. I’ll hold court in the garage (which has electric, AC/heat, and a fridge!). And of course, there will be snacks!!
Second, we’re proud to announce we’ve settled on our preferred charities – the Horseheads Animal Shelter and the
Horseheads Food Pantry. To that end, I’d love it if everyone could bring either a non-perishable food item or an item for the shelter to each meeting. A shelter “Wish List” can be found at
http://horseheadsanimalshelter.atwebpages.com/?p=449.
And finally, perhaps most importantly, going forward we will no longer be charging annual club dues. Instead, STARFLEET International dues will substituted. This means that, in order to join the USS Sirius, a new Crewmember must join STARFLEET and select us in the Chapter listing.
That’s all I have for now. I hope to see you all at our next meeting, September 27th at 6 PM!
