Theresa Wilson


At the January meeting are 12 S.T.A.R. members. Yearly dues are $4. A rank system is in place that gives points for recruiting, attending meetings, fundraising, giving rides to func-tions, and so on. Achievement Awards are established for Attendance, Fundraising, Recruit¬ing, Trivia, and Most Valuable Member. However, some members also interject snide remarks concerning how silly they think a Rank System is.

The February meeting sees a Zann¬produced one-page update, the Stardate Review. President Jones discusses the Rank System and offers Club T-shirts for sale. These official S.T.A.R. OKC shirts are light blue and feature Mark Alfred’s design: the Club name in STTMP lettering and the Starfleet insignia across the chest, with the STTMP-style belt buckle at the waist. Also, Zann announces that BabelCon ’81 will be held at the Lincoln Plaza on August 7-9, with Special Guest James “Scotty” Doohan. However, total Club funds, including S.T.A.R. and BabelCon accounts, amount to only $39.49 So what do we do now?

Among the activities used to raise funds for BabelCon ’81 is the sale of Gold C Coupon Books, which at its ending in March has raised all of $65. S.T.A.R. is a long ways from what it needs to hold the big Con being planned.
