Greetings, Crew!
Can you believe this is the 12th month in which we've had virtual USS Nokomis meetings and events?!?!?!?! When we started having virtual meetings last year we were trying out new territory - boldly going where we had not gone before. After nearly a year, we've gotten really good at it. We've had parties, games, contests, news, elections, announcements, fundraisers, and other fun without actually being together. The good news is that we've actually reached more members this way and our quorum has increased because far-away people don't have to travel to meetings. Of course there's the flip side - we really want to get back together - but we'll get there in time. For now, we continue to welcome new ideas for virtual fun, so keep them coming.
Speaking of virtual fun, I hope you can join us for the February meeting on the 13th. We'll be doing business, playing a quiz game, and visiting. Information for the Zoom meeting will be in the next newsletter. If you haven't sent me any facts (what I did during 2020, my favorite color, something about me that nobody knows), now's the time!
Finally, I am super-duper-hyper-dyno-excited about the fact that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is scheduled to start filming in TWELVE DAYS!! They started in pre-production in August and it's possible that we'll see a release date in late 2021. This one is more exciting to me that any series since TOS, so I'm surely crossing my fingies!
See you around the Galaxy!
Mary
