Annual Bake Sale after November Meeting

Don't forget to bring your baked goods and money to the November meeting! Every year, yummy things show up and are gobbled up by the dozen. You can also not gobble, but bring them home to be gobbled with the turkey or holiday meal. Either way, we can't have a sale without donations and buyers, and it's up to you. Bring your items separated into small portions (6 cookies, one pie, etc) with prices marked on each item.  Please keep the prices to whole dollars, make it easy on your Science Officer!

40th Anniversary Plans

We are planning several events for our big anniversary year and we'd love your help. Our first committee meeting is on Monday, November 6th at 7:30pm, and we're planning the big celebration party. We'll meet by Zoom, so you can join us from home. Let Mary know if you'd like the Zoom link.

MarsCon 2024 – Let’s Have Another Fun Party Room!

Last year's party room was a ball. We recreated our Piece of the Action room and everybody had a great time. Best of all, we kept the work to a minimum and maxed out the fun!

This year we'd like to do it again with the same formula. We hope to do a room based on the episode Assignment: Earth, also known as the Gary Seven episode. Because the costumes are 1960s-era, it will be easy to dress in style. The decor should also be simple and quick (unless someone wants to build a Beta Five computer, of course).

Last year we had over 15 people participate in one way or another and it would be great to have similar interest. Please let Mary know if you can help with quick load/unload on Friday afternoon and Sunday morning, and if you'd like to help populate the room on Friday and Saturday nights. Bottom line: if we have enough hands, we'll have a room, so we hope you'll help!

Captain’s Log: October 2023

Greetings, Crew!

It's October, and time for all of those fun October-y events. Haunted houses, bonfires, the Star Trek Bar Crawl on the 28th, TC Trek Trivia on October on the 11th, carving your Spocky pumpkins, and of course, Pumpkin Spice Raktajino! Enjoy it while you can, and bring honor to your House!

We are gearing up for the 40th Anniversary next year. We have plans for several fun events through the year. We'd like to throw a bash - like we did for Trek 50 and our 35th Anniversary - where we can relax, enjoy each others' company, have a great meal, and celebrate 40 years. How many clubs can say that, really!? We also plan to have a 40th Anniversary memento for all, whether you've been a member for 1 or 40 years. We have a very small committee at this time, so drop me a line if you'd like to help with the planning. We'll be meeting in November as a committee.

Other important notes about dates:

  • We would love to see everyone at the Chuckwagon, and we need to know by 5pm tomorrow (Sunday) if you are coming for food planning purposes
  • Speaking of Chuckwagon, even if you can't attend you can get 50/50 Raffle tickets. The charity funds this year go to Ukraine Relief. You can print out the file in an earlier website post or just collect the money and we'll through the names in the hat (if doesn't impact the chances of winning if you don't have a ticket in hand). Tickets are $5 for one, $10 for 3, so everyone can get some. Let me, Roxanne or Pam know if you'd like to buy (or comment on our Facebook page)
  • We're planning to pack food for Feed My Starving Children in January
  • Our holiday event, which usually falls on the 2nd Saturday in January, is under consideration. If you have ideas for an outing or dinner location, let a Board member know

Lots of fun stuff coming and we hope to see you around the Galaxy!

Big News for November!

Our normal meeting date for November happens to fall on Veterans Day this year, so public libraries aren't open. No matter - we're making fun plans! The membership meeting will be at Klines' home in Savage.

After the meeting we'll have our annual Bake Sale. Bring your best homemade items, or stop at the bakery and grab some treats. Mark your items with a suggested price (even dollar amounts only) and we can sample each other's goodies. These will come in handy for the next part of the day....

Scott is working his magic to find a brewery tour in the Burnsville/Savage area. After we load up on goodies, we'll head out for fun. There will be food stops and drink stops - he always makes it a fun day. Join us on before you head home for the day.

It will be a great time. We'll share more details at the October/November meetings and in the next newsletter.

Star Trek Bar Crawl

This year's bar crawl is called Trek or Treat: A Spooktacular Star Trek Bar Crawl. It starts at the 331 Club on 13th Avenue NE in Minneapolis. A Fistful of Datas, the 90s cover band with a Star Trek episode name, will play at 10pm. These crawls are always fun, so we hope to see you there!
