Members of Region 15,

As we move into a new year, I want to let you all know something that was announced over on the STARFLEET Members Only page. Effective at 12:01 this morning (1/1/2018) Fleet Admiral Robert Westfall has stepped down as Commander, STARFLEET. Dan Toole will be moving from the VCS position to the CS position and there will be some confirmations coming down the line. Robert has stepped down due to health reasons, so I would ask that you all please be respectful of his decision.

2017 has had its ups and downs. I have had a number of very difficult things happen over the last six months, but I am hopeful that they are behind me for now, and that I can go into 2018 on a high note. We have some big things coming up this year. Our 25th Anniversary as a Region, the 15th Anniversary of the 15th Brigade, a new Awards program, some further improvements to our communications channels, and more (I hope.)

I want to wish a Happy New Year to everyone in Region 15 and beyond. I look forward to what the new year will bring to the Region and the FLEET.

Members of the region will be gathering for lunch on Saturday, December 2 @ the Uno Pizzeria in Braintree. Afterwards, there is time for socializing, the mall next door, Dave and Buster’s next door on the other side, and a theater across the street and around the back.

The Address is: 250 Granite Street Braintree, MA 02184

We will be gathering around noon.

Please share with your crews and have everyone RSVP. We have seating for about 30, but we can get a little more than that if needed, but if we go beyond that, some people may be seated away from the group.

I am looking for a volunteer to help facilitate Toys for Tots this year. Unfortunately, I have limited space so I cannot do so at this time. If you, or a member can attend and wish to volunteer, please email me directly at the address below.

Thank you

Lunch will be a Pot Luck; we are asking everyone to bring your favorite concoctions. Star Trek Food is a plus. We will be working out a sign-up sheet so we can get a list of what people are bringing. We are asking people to bring food only, as a bartender will be on site selling beverages: both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. (This is a condition of the hall rental.)

We are still working on the exact schedule, but we are hoping that many of you will attend.
