In 2007 my partner and I were unhappy with the situation we found ourselves in with our chapter in STARFLEET, The International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc. (SFI). I was the Executive Officer to a Commanding Officer who seemed intent on ignoring everything I had to contribute to the chapter and openly hostile to my partner. The CO ended up kicking my partner out of the chapter which left me in a difficult position: Do I continue on in the chapter and hope for the best for my partner or do I leave the chapter in support of him. We were discussing our options before he was kicked out because we saw it coming for a while prior to it happening. We knew we really only had two options if we wanted to remain in SFI, find a new existing chapter to join or start our own chapter.
I have been in STARFLEET since October of 2003. At the time I had been a member for 3 1/2 years. My chapter at the time was only my second chapter. I had some idea of the workings of a chapter in 'FLEET but not much about the rest of the organization. That chapter was a new chapter and I had been involved with getting it started and certified by STARFLEET. In fact my partner and I are both plank certificate owner of that chapter. I knew that I could handle starting a chapter. The hardest part would be recruiting new members. At our highest level we had twenty members. Right now we have nine members. We need to have ten to be considered up to strength.
On Friday, June 28, 2013 we will celebrate our five year anniversary as a commissioned chapter of STARFLEET. We have had our struggles along the way but it has mostly be a fun ride. Can't wait for the next five years!

April Captain's Log
Computer begin recording,
Captain's Log
Stardate: 62805.9
We had a lot of topics on the agenda this month. We covered all of them except one and all in an hour. This meetings was abreviated due to Siran having to go to work early the next day. We decided to move the beginning time up to 8 pm CT for future official meetings due to work schedules.
One of the decision made during the meeting was to form a Marine Strike Group (MSG) on board the Vre'kasht. Details can be found on the forum about it. LT T'sohg will be the Officer In Charge (OIC). The Marines do love their acronyms.
It was also decided to participate in a ship-wide Trivia Tournament. i will set it up so it will start on May 1st. It is a daily quiz that will be available 7 days a week. If a person wishes to join in, they will need to create an account with FunTrivia.com.
Computer end recording and save.

December Captain's Log
Captain's Log
Stardate: 62468.3
Once again, our last meeting only had 2 crew members in attendance. This meeting was even on Yahoo! chat, not IMVU. I really don't know what else to do. I have told everyone that we won't be meeting every week until after the first of the year. Maybe a break in meetings will help to get people to come back.
I hope every one will have a safe and happy holiday season.
Merry Christmas.
It was with a heavy heart I heard that Majel Barrett-Roddenberry had passed away. I never had the chance to meet her. I wish I had. We've never had any big conventions in my area. it will be bittersweet to hear her voice as the computer in the new movie next year. Another star has gone out in the Trek universe. May God bless and comfort the Roddenberry family.
The USS Vre'kasht had dimmed her running lights until further notice.

We've Commissioned!
This was posted to the Region Six Yahoo Group list on June 28. Admiral Urvand mentions there will be an official notice, that has not happened in the week since this was first posted. I doubt it will ever happen.
"- I'll have the official notice out in a day or so, but I had the pleasure of commissioning the USS Vre'kasht, NCC-33187 into service.Congratulations to her crew!
- With the commissioning of Vre'kasht, I am pleased to announce that T'Plon has been promoted to the rank of Captain and Siran has been promoted to the rank of Commander. Congratulations to you both!
