Welcome to the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk (STARFLEET registry NCC-1659).

We are the Raleigh, NC, chapter of STARFLEET International, a world-wide association of fans with a common interest in Star Trek and other science fiction. More than a fan club, our goal is to celebrate the ideas expresssed in the Star Trek universe through active participation in community service activities throughout the greater Triangle area.

Since our launch in 1989, we have assisted with the North Carolina Food Bank; UNC-TV (now PBS North Carolina) Telethons; Toys for Tots; The Duke Children's Miracle Network Telethon and Radiothon; Freedom Baloonfest; roadside clean-ups; Artsplosure; Raleigh First Night; and more. We also worked with the Peak City International Film Festival; Pretty in Pink fundraisers; the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing; and a fundraiser for Raleigh's Battered Women Shelter. In addition to these activities, we have donated directly to schools and teachers in need, and helped individuals with special problems and needs.


MESSAGE FROM THE CO (Stardate 202303.02)
We ARE still around -- and actively meeting -- even the though website has gotten a bit stale. (I double as Chief of Comp Ops, so I'm also the webmaster for the 'Hawk.) I've been dealing with things outside of Kitty Hawk, including what has developed into some significant anxiety issues that have slowed down my progress on ALL of my projects.

Unfortunately, one of the things in my backlog is following up with folks who added their names to our Information Signup sheets at GalaxyCon 2022. In keeping with our privacy policy, I have not delegated this work to anyone else -- maintaining personal possession of the names and e-mail addresses the entire time.

I have gotten (relatively) better and am beginning to catch up on everything, but it's going to take some time. Stay tuned to this website for updates to the newsletters, stories, photo libraries, and a few other things on my website To Do list.



Stardate 202403.27 --
The
2022 First Quarter issue of the newsletter is now available. (The plan is to rapidly push out issues throughout 2024 and get caught up late this year or very early next year.) Our Klingon Language instructor has also updated his class notes, expanding them to include a lot more content.

Stardate 202402.11 --
Beginning the mass-catching up on newsletters, the way overdue
Nov/Dec 2021 issue has been published. We're also working to get the 2022 and 2023 backlog addressed as quickly as possible -- which includes switching to a quarterly schedule for 2022-2024 (and possibly beyond).

Stardate 202312.31 --
Two small updates this time --
the meetings page (with the new mealtime RSVP requirement) and the handbook outline, which we'll soon be starting to turn into the handbook itself.

Stardate 202308.15 --
Starting to catch up on the newsletters,
the Sep/Oct 2021 issue has been posted.

Stardate 202307.19 --
The main content update is for
the 105th MSG (our STARFLEET Marine Corps contingent) that calls the 'Hawk home. The biggest update is more in the page design and layout -- adding the 105th's left-side nav button; an updated page footer; and updating the comment drop box pages to be consistent with the rest of the website.

Stardate 202303.02 --
Two quick and easy updates to get off the website To Do list --
an update on our meetings page and a large update to the answer In What Order Should I Watch Trek?

Stardate 202110.26 --
Still working to get caught up on everything, we've got the
July/August issue of the newsletter and the beginning of our next new on-line narrative.

Stardate 202108.13 --
The next item published as part of our CO/CompOps Chief catching up on things is the
May/June issue of the newsletter.

Stardate 202107.20 --
Our CO/CompOps Chief has (hopefully!) finally gotten unburied by work from the paying job and is starting to catch up on everything. First up is the
final installment of our latest narrative (Chapters 10-12 and the Author's Notes). (The May/June newsletter is also being pushed through and should be out soon.)


The older updates are listed in a separate update page.
