Subject: EXCELSIOR RALLY


Saturday, April 22, is the day for the world wide EXCELSIOR Rally's.
There is a huge event being planned to take place in front of Paramount
Studios in Los Angeles.  It is VERY important that each and every area
which does a rally has the largest number of people possible in
attendance.  The larger the crowd, the better tv coverage we will get.

Phoenix, AZ 10:00 am we will meet in front of KTVK Channel 3, 5555 N.
7th Ave. Phoenix, 85013.  Please dress in your Starfleet uniform, if you
have one.  We are representative of the Offical Crew of the USS
Excelsior during this event. (Remember, at the time frame of Star Trek
VI, Klingons are not yet part of the Federation.)

IF YOU PLAN TO BE AT EITHER OF THESE RALLYS, OR THE LUNCHEON, PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE R.S.V.P. TO ME AT THIS E-MAIL ADDRESSS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.  WE NEED APPROXIMATE COUNTS TO GIVE TO DPS, AND TO THE DEPT.
OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO RESERVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR OUR GROUP.

This rally is to be peaceful.  The media will be present.  Please feel
free to answer any questions in a positive manner.  If you are asked a
negative question, say about Rick Berman, or Brandon Braga, please make
no comment and refer those media persons to me.  Be absolutely sure your
comments are all positive.  The media will pick up on negative comments
like pihrana.  If you don't know how to answer a question, please direct
the person(s) asking them to me.  As Regional Coordinator of this
campaign, I am well equipped to handle any and all questions.

At 11:30, we will adjourn to Encanto Park for a pot luck luncheon.  All
persons participating in the rally are invited to bring food, and or
drinks and to join us.  We will probably enjoy a trivia contest and talk
about SETI at Home, a way for each of us to help NASA look for extra
terrestrial life.

PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING.

At 1:00, we will regroup in front of KUTP, Channel 45 UPN, 4630 S. 33rd
St. Phoenix, 85040.  We will remain there for about an hour.  Again,
Starfleet uniforms are requested, when possible.  Be on your best
behavior.  Answer any questions positively, and refer any negative
interviewers to me.

DON'T FORGET TO R.S.V.P. !!!

This can be a great day of VICTORY for the Launch EXCELSIOR Campaign, if
we have the numbers of people to show Paramount that this series has a
large fan base supporting it.  Get as many of your friends, relatives,
co-workers, students, anyone you can think of and invite them to attend
this rally with us.  We need everyone who supports this effort to be
there, in person.

On Another Note:

We have been challenged by Pocket Books to hand write 1000 notes to
Captain Sulu, C/O John Ordover, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New Youk,
New York, 10020-1586 no later than May 1, 2000.  These must be single
letters, not petitions.  Only one person can sign on a letter.  The
letters must each be in an individually stamped envelope.  It is very
important that we meet this "small" challenge.  Paramount is watching
us.  If there isn't the support out there for a novel, how can they
financially justify a series?  Get your pens and paper out and send a
letter today.  All you have to say is that you would like to see a novel
in print, based on Captain Sulu and the USS Excelsior.  You must put
your name, return address and contact phone number on the letter, or it
will be thrown out.  Each letter must be verifiable.  Anonymous letters,
likewise will be trashed.
Please help us meet our 1000 letter goal.  Right now, only 275 letters
have been received by Mr. Ordover.  There's only two weeks to go to turn
this into a victory dance!

I know some of you out there have sent e-mail notes to me asking what
you can do to help.  My computer crashed last week, and I have lost, or
am having problems retrieving a lot of the info from my hard drives.
Please, if your offer still stands, send along another note.  I will get
back to you hopefully, the same day you send it.

I hope to see all of you at the April 22nd Rally's and luncheon!
