Ship's Log: September Meeting - Response Needed for Uniforms

Captain Phillip presided over the September USS Bonaventure Meeting at the Burlington Mayberry's. We all enjoyed various delicious ice cream treats!

Then we visited the Heroes Haven Comic Book store next store. The group was treated to a fashion show by Scott Gibson as he modeled the latest in Federation Uniforms.

The group has a great opportunity to obtain wonderful maroon uniforms at a special group rate. It so good we can't publish it on the Internet.

Please contact Dan, Phillip, or any department head that was in attendance to get the pricing information and to let them know if you would like to purchase one.

In attendance were both Scotts, Bill, Dan, Catherine, Elaine, Chris, Eric, Diane, Gordon, Phillip, Chuck and one new member Kevin and one possible new member Brad. Welcome Kevin and Brad to our meeting!

Reorder USS Bonaventure items! Now is the time to let Phillip know if you would like to order or reorder any items with the USS Bonaventure logo such as shirts, hats, brief case or patches.

What department do you want to be in? This is your chance to give input on how your corner of the ship will look. Examples are Medical also called biological sciences, Science, Engineering, Marines, Communications etc.

Materials needed by September 27 for the Anniversary Issue of our Newsletter! Use your creativity, draw pictures, tell stories, write reports or reviews. We need your input! Please remember to bring your used cans because we are using our recycling as a means to get money. Of course, money donations are also welcome.

The new Star Trek movie was discussed!
