So, as per our usual arrangements, we are asking everyone to bring a dish (or a 3L bottle of soda and bag of ice) or $10.00 to cover costs.

We have the following items already spoken for:

• Hamburgers, Buns, Sabrett Onions and Cheese – Jeff and Laura
• Hot Dogs & Buns – Julia and Kevin
• Propane, Vegetable platter, Beans, Mac & Cheese, Burger Fixin's – Bob & Emily
• Brownies – Jennifer T.

We still need volunteers for the following:

• Corn
• Watermelon
• Desserts
• Potato Salad
• Macaroni Salad
• Coleslaw
• Soda & Ice
• Anything else cookout appropriate

Please let us know if your coming and what you're brining by June 27th if possible. We'll start the festivities around 1pm. Unfortunately, the pool will not be available for this year, however, we do plan on making a trip to see some fireworks, as well as possibly showing some blooper reels from some of our favorite shows, as well as possibly having a copy of a recently released movie that stars a character that has pointed ears…and an unerring capacity for getting his shipmates into trouble. 😉

If you've got any questions or need more information, please let me know!

Our local newspaper profiled our chapter, and all the places we've been popping up lately!

 "The USS Challenger, a local group of die-hard Trek fans, rejoiced the premiere of the new Star Trek film and were part of the opening of the Star Trek Exhibition at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. On May 20, they were part of the promotion of Star Trek night for the Somerset Patriots minor league baseball team."
