A Promotion, A Meal and A Toy
Last night the USS Continuum held it’s anniversary dinner at Ryan’s buffet in Pace, FL. It was a fun gathering of friends and we were joined by members of the USS Jubilee.
My wife and I were both promoted from 2nd lieutenant to 1st lieutenant. I was presented with the Scholastic Achievement award for the most STARFLEET courses completed in the past year and my wife received Honorable Mention for Scholastic Achievement. How did I beat her for the award? I completed three more courses than she did.
There was a Dirty Santa gift exchange as well. I took home a plush Darth Vader and my wife got a queen sized blue blanket.
The best part of the evening was this: The ship donated 12 toys to the Toys For Tots program!
11 toys were donated at the dinner and my wife and I dropped them off at the Toys For Tots bin at Toys R Us. When my wife and I were walking out of the store we realized that of the 11 toys not a one of them was a Star Trek toy! We couldn’t let that happen so we went to the action figure area and found a Captain Kirk toy to buy and donate. This brought the total donation count up to 12 and included a Star Trek toy. Woohoooo!
