STARFLEET FIRST-CLASS MAIL US POSTAGE COMMUNIQUÉ PAID Stow, OH 656 LAFAYETTE ROAD, MEDINA, OHIO 44256 Permit No. 18 STARFLEET APPLICATION STARFLEET is the fan organization whose members are united the world over in their appreciation of Star Trek. Adventure. Hundreds of chap- ters worldwide link members into local fandom as well as the International organization. As a member of STARFLEET, you will receive a membership packet containing the basic supplies you need top get started on the road to becoming an active member in your local club. This packet contains: your membership certificate and card, a copy of the Membership Handbook, the Vessel Registry [a book containing all active chapters in the Fleet], a memo pad, and a application to Starfleet Academy. 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 within the Star Trek universe. After receiving the membership package you will have the oppor- tunity to sign aboard the chapter of your choice, hold a fictional rank and position and take part in that chapter’s Star Trek related activi- ties and community service endeavors, and other projects. Another service of STARFLEET is the COMMUNIQUE, our bi-monthly magazine, written by and for our members. The COMMU- NIQUE 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 program and other areas of interest to members. The STARFLEET ACADEMY, mentioned above, is just that: our own academy based upon the various subjects in Star Trek. It is available to our members and the courses are taken by. Participation in these courses is not only fun but they increase your knowledge in today’s level of science and medicine, not to mention that some of them are quite challenging. Are you up to the challenge? Annually, STARFLEET awards one cash scholarship from each of the scholarship funds listed at the bottom of this application to deserving STARFLEET members. This is our way of saying thanks for trying to help make our universe a little more like the one created by Gene Roddenberry.
