Over the last week, the rest of us (except Dave) received
our abbreviated memberships and the March/April Communique. The May/June
Communique is now on the internet as is the membership handbook, and the
fleet list.
Jennifer is fighting to get the StarQuest again listed
in the fleet lists.
The StarQuest needs to pay its annual Chapter Charter
Fee (which originally was a 1 time fee?)

Friday, Tasha and I got to Dave's house for the meeting
early (5:45), we had lots to do. We spent almost half an hour sorting
out all the free stuff that I had gotten from last weeks convention for
the club to go through. Liz and Neil showed up at 6:15pm and noted
that they had to leave at 7pm, so I started updating them until Commander
Paul Stacy of K.L.A.W. arrived at 6:30pm. I tryed to restart
the meeting, but found myself fighting with the Simpson's for the attention
of the group and lost. At 7pm, Jon and Alan arrived, so Jon and I
tryed to restart the meeting again only to then fight with Home Improvement
for the attention of the group. Jon and I gave up and the meeting
ended and we all left. There was a large agenda to discuss dealing
with the convention and our status in Starfleet. Unfortunately this
isn't my house or my TV otherwise the TV would have been tossed off the
balcony. It's hard enough to conduct a meeting, let alone while the
TV is playing. Our meeting have been small the last 2 months (Dave,
Liz, Neil, Tasha and myself usually), yet I've tryed to conduct meetings
to the best of my ability, so I was very hurt that I was ignored and drowned
out by non-sci-fi TV shows, that could have been recorded for later viewing.
I spend a lot of time keeping the StarQuest webpages up-to-day, coordinating
events, doing the monthly reports and corresponding with members, fleet
and potential members, and have attended every meeting that I was in town
for. Considering the obvious lack of interest in the club's meetings,
and lack of involvement (except by Liz, Neil, Jon, and Alan), all future
meetings of the U.S.S. StarQuest have been cancelled until more interest
is shown and an alternate site and time can be determined.
Until then, the U.S.S. StarQuest meetings will be held
in conjunction with the meetings of the groups in Fort Myers.
Our next meeting will be next Saturday, at the U.S.S.
Dragonfire meeting.
