For those of you who are not familiar with Correspondence Chapters within STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association, we are a unique and exciting family of chapters that offer many avenues of involvement. Though we do not hold face to face meetings like our sister meeting chapters, we draw our members from all over the Fleet. Many wish to be active, but due to distance, schedule, or funds, find participation in a meeting chapter often unfeasible or  unappealing. Correspondence Chapters offer an atmosphere conducive to pursuing the goals and ideas of Star Trek in the spirit of friendship and camaraderie on many different levels. Connecting by e-mail, U.S. Mail, chat room, newsletter and interactive fiction, members share their ideas and their part of the world. We also have the fun of getting together at regional and Fleet events.

Correy Chapters contribute much to the fabric of STARFLEET. Some of our chapters like the USS Aurora Vulcanus are “Elder Statesman” celebrating over twenty-two years of Fleet service. While newer chapters such as the USS Magellan, USS Southern Cross, and USS Dauntless are taking on the task of region building. The Moontype is paving the way for the visibly impaired to enjoy the fandom in our organization. Correys are popping up everywhere.

Many from our family earn awards on the Regional and International levels of STARFLEET each year. Whether it is chapter, newsletter or website of the year many of our group have garnered top honors.

Members of Correy Chapters hold important positions in STARFLEET on the International and Regional levels. You can hunt the listings and see many correy personnel. The Flagships of many regions are in the correy community.

The Correy Family is as wide spread as the Fleet itself, representing most of the Fleet’s regions. Our interests are as vast. From creativity to the internet, medical to military, community service to gaming, correspondence chapters offer a wide range of focus and activities. Community out reach encompasses such programs as the Overseas Coupons, Ronald McDonald House, Toys for Tots, and Operation Eagle. You will always see our away teams at various events. If you are looking for a home, try a correy and you will not be disappointed.

As you explore this site, you will see we how much we have to offer fleet members.  You are only limited by your dreams, and your journey is just beginning.

We also have correy guidelines available for those interesting in starting or changing an existing group to correy. Contact me for details or more information.

We thank you for your interest,

Commodore David Lee Kania, Director, DCCO
