 Northern Lights Monthly Schedule
- The U.S.S. Northern Lights isn't JUST a Star Trek® fan club, it's ALSO a social
organization, designed to be affordable and desirable for friends and family to join in on
the activities. With monthly meetings, social events, and role-playing games.There's
something going on almost all the time.

Monthly Social Event
-the weekend of the third Saturday of each month

Each month, the Northern Lights also tries to "Get out a bit". So we plan "Social Events,"
Miniature Golf, Go-cart racing, Bowling, Camping, and going out to movie premiers
have been standard events. Social Events usually occur in the evenings,
usually on the third Saturday, starting at around 7:00pm. We are aware that finances
are limited for some of our members, so we try and keep the price of participation at or
below $15 per person. (Dining not included).
After the event, the group will usually adjourn to a local restaurant. Social Events can
run into the "Late" and have once or twice run into the "Early"...
thus explaining why SUNDAY events are rarer.
-
Social Events are decided 2 months in advance by the Senior Staff.

Community Service

Ever since William Shatner did his "Get a life" skit on Saturday Night Live, Star Trek®
fans have gotten a bad rap. Much of the world tends to look down it's nose at their
perception of us as "Geeky, pimply-faced, pointy-eared kids waving toy phasers and
screaming 'ZAP ZAP!' at each other". Alright, there's SOME reality to that, but for the
most part, once we take off our ears we're normal,caring people, with a positive view
towards the future. Starfleet® (our parent organization) has repeatedly encouraged it's
chapters to put this positive energy to work in our communities. The Northern Lights has
done just that. Collecting canned food and volunteering to helpout the local public
television station (KTEH 54), as well as working with the San Jose Asian Law Alliance
in 1993, The Northern Lights is always trying to help where it can.

Community Service projects occur every 3-6 months.
