Galaxy Fest help needed! Bowling, and RoboCop after breakfast.
Welcome new members!

Last week at the Fountain Family Expo we had a great time and met some awesome people.  To those awesome people who joined our mailing list, we welcome you and we look forward to getting to know you over the next few weeks.

If you are wondering what the next step is to joining the Zebulon Pike, you should go join our Facebook group.  It is where most of our planning happens and spontaneous events get announced.  So go head on over.  Right now. I mean it, click this link now! https://www.facebook.com/groups/USSZebulonPike/

Galaxy Fest is coming!

Galaxy Fest is only 16 days away! And we need some serious manpower.  This is Colorado Spring's largest sci-fi convention, and we have a unique opportunity to make this awesome.

The USS Tiburon, our sister chapter, is on the line for a lot of events during the convention, and we need to offer a helping hand with enough people that all of us can rotate through so we can enjoy the convention and help out as well.

If you can help out at all during the weekend, even for just an hour or two, go to our RSVP page and click RSVP!

Here is what we need help with:
  • Working the Zebulon Pike fan table / recruiting Trekkies & others to join us
  • Taking pictures & video of the ZP & Tiburon crew doing all the various activities. (Yes, I would like a dedicated person for this if we have willing souls)
  • Manning the VIP suite for all 3 days of the convention
  • Meet & Greet party on Friday night
  • Over 21 party Saturday night
  • Karaoke Friday night & Saturday afternoon
  • Help manage costume contest voting (will be at or near our table, people vote on pictures of awesome costumes)
  • Gather registrations for the costume contest on Sunday
  • Dead Dog party on Sunday after the closing ceremonies, which will be for staffers and volunteers only
As you can see we have a lot of things going on, and we need lots of help. So if you can help out, even for a few hours, please come out. This convention will be downtown Colorado Springs, at the Antler's Hilton hotel.  The dates are February 21-23.

Those helping out will get free convention passes, but only if you RSVP, as I need to let them know how many passes we need ahead of time.

Zebulon Pike Shirts

If you would like to get a T-shirt or a POLO shirt, please check out our store and order one.  http://usszebulonpike.gigabitprint.com/

We have a picture of the new polo shirt on our Flickr page: http://www.flickr.com/groups/usszebulonpike/
 

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.

We are still collecting pop cap tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.  Collect as many as you can and we will see who has the most at the end of the year.
