The Communications Department of UF Starfleet continues to work to provide effective promotions and opportunities for connections between members.

PROMOTIONS/MARKETING
Our promotional activities include: graphic design of posters & memes; posting of UFS Social event memes as well as Trek history & Trek birthday memes to Facebook, Twitter & Instagram; posting of UFS images & promotional materials to Flickr; posting of upcoming events on the UFS Forum and UFS Events Calendar; posting of six blogs a month to UFS news, as well as in-world group notices.

This work is done by a team of dedicated volunteers: Graphic Design: Kalayna Troi ((TaylorRaeJunior)) & Poison Toocool; Photography: Selina Otsuke & Erika Lancetti; Social Media: Selina Otsuka, Evelyn Rieko, Poison Toocool & Hal Jordan ((GreenLantern Excelsior)); UFS Blogs: Hal Jordan, Susan Grace ((Susie657)). The work is planned, tracked and indicated as completed through the use of internal calendars so that we can keep on top of what's happening next & who is responsible for ensuring a specific item gets done .

I'd like to particularly recognize Capt Hal Jordan (GreenLantern Excelsior)) for his excellent work in keeping us apprised of all the new technological developments. I have to say, the first time I heard of ChatGPT was in the UFS Blog!! Great work, Hal.

RELAY FOR LIFE
Our Relay for Life Team is managed by co-Captains Lizzy Gracemount and Kermie Mistwallow, who are responsible for ensuring our UFS Metamorphosis team participates in various fundraising events like the upcoming Relay Weekend and Fandom Con. Relay Weekend is a chance for us all to join together. There is the Team Lap, various themed hours, and, of course, Luminaria. The weekend of June 10 & 11th, set aside some time to visit the UFS display and walk the track. More info was posted here, by Lizzy - viewtopic.php?f=965&t=34655

ALSO the UFS HONOR GUARD will be standing for Luminaria, at the UFS Relay Weekend Campsite. If you would care to stand with us, please wear Class Bs. Once the hour starts we will bow our heads and be silent as those walking the track pass by. Call time - 8:45pm SLT Sat June 10th. The hour starts at 9pm SLT>

UFS SOCIAL EVENTS
Over the past few months we have tried a variety of approaches to Events. We have planned them earlier in the SLT day, we have held them late in the SLT night, we have tried them at mid-day SLT. We have organized, planned, decorated, promoted, been there to play music & greet people & keep the conversation flowing.

We've had Field Trips, Sunday Brunch, Klingon Day of Honor, Antarian Trans-Stellar Rally, Mad Hatter Tea Party, Sadie Hawkins, Valentine's Day, Lunar New Year, Toga Party, and more. For each event one or more staff members took the responsibility of sorting out where it would be held, decorating for it (using their own Lindens), and being there to DJ and host it.

An amazing amount of effort by dedicated volunteers to give all of UFS a chance to come together in fellowship and celebration. I would like to thank Greg Esharham, Sioban Crystal, Evey Riley, Hal Jorden, Naida Starchild, Zania Turner, Twist Firebeard, Jyclops Jansma and, of course, Vice JC Evelyn Rieko, for their huge efforts and commitment of time & energy to UFS Social Events.

This Summer we will be switching to a Festival style event held the second weekend of each month. We feel this will give everyone at UFS a heads-up - advance notice - that something special is happening at Pinastri! And cover most of the time zones that UFS members inhabit as well.
