FIRST CLASS US POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 80 Kansas City, KS STARFLEET APPLICATION STARFLEET is the fan organization whose members are united the world over in their appreciation of Star Trek—The Greatest Human Adventure. Hundreds of chapters 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 opportunity to sign aboard the chapter of your choice, hold a fictional rank and position and take part in that chapter’s Star Trek related activities and community service endeavors, and other projects. Another service of STARFLEET is the Communiqué, our bi-monthly magazine, written by and for our members. 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 program and other areas of interest to members. The STARFLEET Academy, mentioned above, is just that: a correspondence academy based upon the various subjects in Star Trek. It is available to you as a member, and all courses are conducted via the mail. Participation in these courses is fun and can increase your knowledge of not just today’s world, but the futuristic realm of the Star Trek universe. The Academy is an exciting challenge provided for the enjoyment of all STARFLEET members, and you are invited to participate! 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 world a little more like the one envisioned by Gene Roddenberry. If this brief overview intrigues you, then STARFLEET may be the fan organization for you. Read the instructions on the application, include your dues in US funds, and allow 4-8 weeks for membership packages to arrive. Retain a copy of your canceled check of money order receipt for your records.
