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.
NOTE that the Dec 2 meeting will be a potluck at a member's home, so we will NOT be at our usual gathering spot in December. Please Contact us for RSVP details.
GalaxyCon Raleigh has now wrapped up. I'll (eventually) post all the pics but am starting with all four Trek Cosplay Meetups and a couple of other must-see classics .... See y'all at GalaxyCon Raleigh 2024 in July !
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 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.

Our CO/CompOps Chief has (hopefully!) finally gotten unburied by work from the paying job and is starting to catch up on everything.
