The International STAR TREK Fan Association, Inc.

STARFLEET is the fan organization with something for everyone. Members the world over are united in appreciation of the human adventure of STAR TREK. Hundreds of chapters spread around the planet link members into local fandom and the central organization.

Annual membership in STARFLEET begins with a package containing a membership card, membership certificate, handbook, memo pad, and a listing of chapters throughout the 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 magazines. The other option provides a more futuristic atmosphere for those fans intrigued by the fleet structure within the STARTREK 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 the chapter’s STAR TREK related activities and community service projects.

Another element of your STARFLEET membership is your subscription to six issues of the Communiqué, our bi-monthly magazine. The Communiqué contains current information on STARFLEET operations and chapter activities, list of upcoming conventions, news and information on STAR TREK media and articles on the space To Join STARFLEET , simply complete this form program in related areas. and mail it with your check or Money Order (in U.S. funds payable to STARFLEET) to: STARFLEET Please assign me Starship Duty with: P.O.

DeFOREST KELLEY/LEONARD McCOY MEDICAL SCHOLARSHIP

Brian Murphy of the USS Avenger, Region 7 will be attending Haverford College in Flaverford, PA. This bright young man has been very active with STARFLEET. To read his Brian resume and letters of recommendation, you would see that he has also been very active Murphy elsewhere! Brian joined STARFLEET in 1988 and put his interests in science and medicine and his talent of writing to good duty writing articles for the Avenger’s Medical Department newsletter. Brian credits Star Trek and STARFIEET with his choice of careers, "Star Trek helped my develop my career interest in medicine and science.... I might not have taken an interest in medicine had I not seen "Bones" perform his handiwork or written my articles for the newsletter." In his community, Brian volunteers at this local hospital, with the local DARE chapter, his church’s youth group and the Boy Scouts of America-- including earning the Eagle Scout rank. When he starts classes this fall, Brian will be a biology major, possibly with a minor in biochemistry or biophysics. After those four years of college, he hopes to attend medical school. His interest is to become a pediatrician. The 1994 DeForest Kelly/ Leonard McCoy Medical Scholarship is awarded to Lt. Brian P. Murphy. Who knows, he may be a predecessor to Drs. McCoy, Crusher, Pulaski or Bashir.

James Doohan/Montgomery Scott AEROSPACE ENGINEERING SCHOLARSHIP

This STARFLEET member has been active and supportive of his chapter in Region 1 for over five years. Anyone who has the position of First Officer of a chapter learns how to budget time between STARFLEET, job/school and real life. Commander Daniel Stover also finds plenty of time to help community service groups such as Junior Civitans and the Boy Scouts. He has won several science fair awards and represented his school at the 1993 Mountaineer’s Boys’ Daniel State, a fine honor. Now Daniel is spreading his talents on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. He plans to major in Biology which is plenty for a college Stover program. Not enough for Daniel... he is also planning a second full major in Medical Technology or Aerospace Engineering. With those degrees in hand he plans to submit his application to NASA for a position as a Mission Specialist. While Captain Kim Abbot of the USS Chronos may mourn her loss of a First Officer, this may be the start of the first STARFLEET member on a shuttle mission. Daniel is this year’s winner of the Jimmy Doohan/Montgomery Scott Aerospace Engineering Scholarship, and rightfully so!
