COMMUNIQUÉ Stow, OH 656 LAFAYETTE ROAD, MEDINA, OHIO 44256 Permit No STARFLEET FIRST-CLASS MAIL US POSTAGE COMMUNIQUÉ PAID 656 LAFAYETTE ROAD, MEDINA, OHIO 44256 Stow, OH Permit No. 18 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. When joining or renewing, please send the full page application with your check or money order (U. S. Funds only) to: STARFLEET • P.O. BOX 980008 • W.
