Dinner after Bowling Has Moved

For those who signed up....The dinner tomorrow after bowling has been moved. Boca Chica has changed their policy and could not accommodate us. The new location is Joseph's Grill. The address is 140 Wabasha Street, just down from Boca Chica. If you are signed up, we'll see you at 5pm!

Star Trek with the Minnesota Orchestra was FASCINATING!

On Friday, July 14th, an away team from the Nokomis attended a showing of the 2009 movie Star Trek at Orchestra Hall with full accompaniment by the Minnesota Orchestra.  Hearing the soundtrack played live was an amazing experience.  Many fans who attended dressed up in Star Trek uniforms and other costumes, including the entire brass section!  Many of us said we'd like to attend other types of screenings like this in the future.

Many thanks to Aida Cruz for this awesome suggestion!  Way to dive right in as a new member!

Captain’s Log September 2017

Greetings, Crew!

Here we are, back to a new year of fun. September is the beginning of our club year and we have lots of great things in store, as always. We'll start out on the 9th with our general membership meeting and annual bowling party. We've invited the other clubs to attend, so help pass the word if you know folks who'd like to come. We hope you'll join us at Boca Chica afterwards, so please add your name to the list for the reservation.

At the September meeting we always unveil our upcoming calendar. You'll hear all of the things the Governing Board proposes for October 2017 to December 2018. Then the membership will approve that calendar and we'll start to plan. Keep in mind that the calendar is always evolving, so any social or charitable event you crave could become a reality. Just suggest it to a board member for consideration.

If you haven't come to the last few October meetings, you'll want to make it this year. This will be our third annual awards session and review of our year. It's amazing what fun things we do!

We are currently looking for a fun activity for our December calendar, so if you have an idea let's hear it! We've done everything from outdoor activities to fancy parties to theater outings, so anything is fair game. We'll discuss this decision at the September meeting.

I hope everybody is enjoying the late summer offerings in the area, from the Fair to the RenFest to apple orchards and more. See you around the galaxy!

The Super Swell Movie Night was Super Swell

On August 26th we had a nice time at the backyard movie night. We weren't in the back yard due to the rainy weather, but that didn't stop the fun.

Our theme was Halloween in August. We watched two episodes of extraordinary high quality - Spock's Brain and Catspaw. Our menu included Sylvia's Salad, Transmuter Pie and Sigma Draconis Pie (regular and Vegan shepherd's pies), Brain and Brain Cake, Morg and Eymorg Cookies and Korob's Wands. Popcorn capped the evening as we watched several documentary segments from the Roddenberry Vault. Previously unseen original series footage is rare, so it was especially fun to see these programs.

We were sad that the Star was missing, but she was here with us in spirit, we're sure. I am thankful that Lynne stepped in with great ideas and lots of work so our event could go on. Thanks also to Phill and Jack for their part in the evening and to everyone that attended.

Bowling? Reserve Your Place at Dinner TODAY

Planning to bowl with the Nokomis on the 9th?  I'm sure you'd like dinner too.  We're headed to Boca Chica after bowling and they'd like reservations for a large party like us.

There's a sign up to reserve your place.  Since we don't have another meeting before the event the ONLY way to reserve a seat with the Nokomis folks is to sign up online.

We'll close out the reservations four days before the dinner, so SIGN UP TODAY.

You must be logged in to a valid account to view and sign up for event opportunities.

It’s Time for 2017’s Super Swell Movie Night!

Our annual outdoor movie night moves back outdoors on August 26th. Your hosts this year will be Mary and Lynne (and Jack and Phill will back us up, of course). The fun starts at 7pm in the backyard of the Captain's Quarters.

The cost of the event is still $12 and includes your meal and entertainment. Please bring a beverage of your choice and something to sit on (most people bring chairs but blankets work, too). Please sign up online ASAP or let Mary know if you plan to attend so we can plan the amount of food. You can send a check to Mary or pay on PayPal for a nominal fee. We need to know who's coming by August 16th.

The only other thing you need to know is that there is Star Trek on the menu. Please join us for the fun, rain or shine!

Captain’s Log – August 2017

Greetings, crew.

It's been a summer of emotion - both good and sorrowful. It will be good to see everyone at the movie night on August 26th and when we start our new year on September 9th. I don't have a lot to say, so take care until we are together again.
