FIRST-CLASS MAIL U.S. POSTAGE PAID Burnsville, NC Permit No. 12 FIRST CLASS MAIL STARFLEET The International Star Trek Fan Association STARFLEET is the fan organization with something for everyone. Members are united the world over in their appreciation of Star Trek - the greatest human adventure. Dozens of chapters spread across the world link members into local fandom and the central organization. Annual membership in STARFLEET begins with a package containing a membership card, memo pad, and a listing of chapters throughout he world, including the one nearest you! The membership handbook will introduce you to STARFLEET’s unique infrastructure that offers two membership options. One allows you to be an associate member with no obligation other than receiving membership materials and newsletters. The other option provides a more futuristic atmosphere for the fan intrigued by the fleet structure of Star Trek’s universe. After receiving the membership package a new member will have the opportunity to sign aboard the starship (chapter) of their choice, hold a fictional rank and position and take part in that chapter’s Star Trek related activities and community service projects. Another element of STARFLEET is the annual subscription to the Communique, our bi-monthly newsletter that members receive. The Communique contains current information on STARFLEET operations and chapter activities. There are reviews of STARFLEET activities, lists of upcoming conventions, news and information on Star Trek media and articles on the space program and related areas.

The current Executive Committee bids all of STAR- FLEET a fond farewell and extends congratula- tions and salutations to the new administration. We wish them all well. Commander, STARFLEET FAdm Jeannette Maddox A SPECIAL THANK YOU... We wish to extend a special thank you to Granny Elf and Paw Elf for their non-stop contribution to the Fleet. They helped the Fleet Admiral produce much of the work that Vice Commander, STARFLEET went into keeping the Fleet running, quietly and reliably without an expectation of thanks Admiral Sue Hampton or renumeration of any kind. They have been wonderful. We also extend a great, big thank you to the employees of the Burnsville Veterinary clinic, who have over the past four years worked in a most unusual environment sharing Chief of Operations their 20th century world with a 23rd·24th century vision.
