Greetings Region 3!

I hope everyone is excited, and preparing for our Holodeck adventure that will be Summit 2018! I certainly am. I’ve been busy with awards and promotion boards, which is a great time for me to be reminded of all the great things that Region 3 and it’s members have done last year. But it’s not all looking back – I am very much looking forward to seeing everyone, and each person’s creative spin on the “Getting Away On the Holodeck” theme we have here!

So – let’s look at the schedule:

Friday –

5PM – 7PM – Registration – Come pick up your goods, or give us money if you haven’t already!

From 7PM through 9PM  (1900-2100 for those marine types) is the 3rd Brigade Dress Mess. This is the usual Marine pomp and ceremonial style dinner, where the Brigade Valor award winners will be announced. This year we are hosting at Vic’s – we got a copy of the program from Deep Space 9, and we have been assured that any glitches have been corrected…

Class A uniforms, or equivalent are encouraged, but bring the best you got, and have fun with the local SFMC folks. As added hilarity, this year’s Vice-President of the Mess, or ‘Goat’ is a pretty new marine – Robert Hunnicutt; thanks to his performance at Wilderness Challenge last year!

After the Mess, join us for the after party! Nothing bad ever happens there, and certainly does not lead to various members and staff showing up a bit worse for the wear at Opening ceremonies the next morning…

 

Saturday

8AM – 9AM – Registration is open.
Saturday we will have Opening Ceremonies/General Session starting at 9AM. This will include Final Mission, early on, so that we can pay our respects to those we’ve lost over the past two years. Promotions, and various awards and news will be announced during the general session.

From 11AM to 2PM is the Mystery Lunch – a clue like ‘who done it’ in Trek style!

Starting at 2PM is our various panels, the Marine Muster and the game room opens!

Panels include:  (Times/rooms subject to change)

Awards How to – by Lucy Frank (2-3PM)
Model Building – by Dan Joplin (3-4PM)
Uniforms – by Tank Clark (4-5PM)
Newsletters and Weather stations – by Sarah Hays (5-6PM)

The Marine Muster will be from 2-4PM.

Cadet activities will be available from 2:30-4:30PM.

7PM-9PM is the Admiral’s Banquet – Holodeck style! Come dressed applicable to your preferred (family friendly) holodeck program!

From 9PM  to Midnight will be the Charity Auction. Bring your items for that (contact Glenda at summit@region3.org), and bring your money to raise funds for the Children’s Miracle Network – and come home with great stuff!

10PM-12:30AM The After party room will also be open for your entertainment!

 

Sunday –
Sunday starts off with two events, both at 9AM.

A non-denominational worship service, as arranged by the USS Diamondback for one hour.

Also at 9AM-11AM will be a CCO meeting – where CO’s, XO’s, and Staff can sort out Region business over not enough caffeine.

Closing ceremonies will begin at 11AM. Come get the final tally, the last hurrah, and close up the summit right.

Not that we are done, just because we had closing ceremonies!

At 1PM- 4PM there will be an away mission to the Grapevine Mills Outlet Mall (3000 Grapevine Mills Parkway, Grapevine, TX 76051) – where they have a Legoland Discovery Center! 

And lets not forget, the Dead Dog party – the really last shindig of a summit, where all remaining gather about, share stories, share drinks, and often employ time honored recruiting methods for various projects and jobs… Starts when we all get back from the Away mission, around 4:30PM

 

As you can see – there is a LOT to do, and we already have 48 people signed up to be there, and I know there are more coming. So come geek out with 50 or so of your closest friends, get your Trek on, and display your creativity with this great theme. Remember that May 31 is the last day to order meals – So total package and meal sales will stop at midnight. Normal registration we will take up until the door. 

I look forward to seeing you there!

Regional Coordinator
