Greetings all!

That photo to your left is myself and First Officer Jansen on January 24^th, heading up our monthly meeting in our new location at Heroes Your Mom Threw Out Comic Shop! Owner Jared graciously provided us with snacks, and a wonderful time was had by all!

If anyone has any used folding chairs they’d like to part ways with, or if anyone knows of some for sale, please let me know!

I’d like to extend congratulations to Captain Andrew Carlson and the crew of the USS Alaster on their commissioning on January 24^th. Welcome to the 7^th Fleet! (We’re not far behind them!) 

We’re working on expanding our newsletter! “On the View Screen” is just one of our new columns, and it will outline upcoming movies. If you have an idea about a column or article you’d like featured, e-mail me at usssirius@stny.rr.com.  We’ll also be featuring our member’s Interstellar Pets!

We’re still collecting cans and bottles for our ongoing fundraiser. We’re always collecting nonperishable food items or animal care items for our two chosen organizations – the Horseheads Food Pantry and the Horseheads Animal Shelter. Items can either be brought to a meeting or dropped off at the Captain’s house.

Greetings all!

If you missed our December meeting, you missed a B-I-G announcement - As of January 2015, the USS Sirius has a permanent meeting place! We will be meeting at Heroes Your Mom Threw Out Comic Shop! Our first meeting there will be January 24^th at 2 PM. Heroes is located at 130 West 14^th Street in Elmira Heights. We’re thrilled to be working with Heroes owner Jared, and we’re looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership!

As we enter the new year, I’d like our focus to be on making a commitment to our meetings and our charitable work. Too often people say, “I don’t have time.” I’m just as guilty of that as the next person. But in reality, we make time for the things we want to make time for. Let’s make 2015 the year we stand out in Region 7!

I’d also like to focus on recruiting. While not everyone is expected to “pound the pavement,” I’d like for everyone to think about small ways they can help. Can you post a flyer at your work? Are you friends with any local business owners who would let you put up a flyer? Are you attending an event where you could pass out business cards? If so, shoot me an e-mail or give me a call and I’ll get you set up with flyers and cards!
