Fantasy Football, game nights, a break, and a quarterly meeting.
This weekend we had an AWESOME time at Sky Fest, the Sky Sox Star Trek night.  There were four different chapters represented, the USS Tiburon and USS Pioneer from Denver, and then the USS Wind Spirit and the USS Zebulon Pike from Colorado Springs.  We had 13 people from our own chapter there, and several more who signed up this weekend or who expressed interest in signing up.

To those who showed up to help, thank you very much!  You helped make this an awesome event.  If you took photos, please take a few minutes to upload them to flickr and then share them with our flickr group or even the Region flickr group.

We are going to slow down for the next couple of weeks except for our game nights, and then in the middle of September we are having our quarterly meeting to plan out the next few months.  So sit back and relax for the next few weeks and then come back refreshed and ready to rock this fall season with the Zebulon Pike.  I look forward to seeing everybody at the game nights and the meeting!

Upcoming Events

-- 2) Register on NFL.com before August 28 with the same email address used in the RSVP.

Quarterly Meeting, Sat Sep 14 @ 1500 (3pm)
- Where: Rock Bottom
Please RSVP
- Uniform of the day: Crew Shirts
- This meeting will be for introducing our new members, giving out awards, and planning out what events the Zebulon Pike wants to do for the next few months.  So come in with some ideas of what you want to do.  We are especially looking for community events, such as different festivals so we can experience new things that we would not have done otherwise, and then we will fill in the other weeks with things such as Bowling or other things we can do anytime.  Also we will be discussing how active we want to be during the fall.  Do we want to do things every week like we did during the summer, or just limit it to 2 or 3 things per month?  This is your chance to help shape what we do, so please show up and get involved. :)

Region Mini Golf Tournament, Sat Sep 28 @ TBD

New ZP Commissioning T-Shirts

We have a new T-Shirt design that will only be available through December.  It is a little costly at about $30 to $33 per shirt after tax.  If you want to save money let me know what size of shirt you want and I will order it so we can avoid the shipping costs, which adds an additional $7 to $65 to the shirt.

To those who purchased shirts at an extreme price before we found this out, I am sorry.  I am still learning how this online store works.
 

Zebulon Pike on Twitter

As the search for the best way to pass information to the crew continues, I have decided to try a new method, twitter.  Twitter is a great way to share small amounts of information very quickly.

If you have a twitter account, follow us: @ussZebulonPike
If you do not have a twitter account, text "follow ussZebulonPike" to 40404 to receive text alerts

We promise to keep the amount of information shared limited so we do not annoy people.
 

Community Service & Fund Raising Ideas

It would be great if we could start coming up with some community service ideas.  If anybody has any ideas of things we can do this summer then it would be great to get the planning started now.
