Welcome aboard the USS Columbus, a Central Ohio Chapter of Starfleet International, Region 1. Our group is a Family-friendly Star Trek and Sci-fi oriented fan club involved with Community Service, supporting various charity organizations, sponsoring fund raisers and doing whatever we can to promote peace, respect, friendship, good will and hope for the future.
We are looking to grow and cordially invite anyone into our group who is interested in Star Trek and Science Fiction in general. Our children and grandchildren are an important part of our lives, and our hope for the future, so we welcome families with children of all ages. We try to promote and participate in activities that are fun, but at the same time have educational value.
Our mission is to uphold the principles of Starfleet , to try to make the world a better place for all by rendering assistance when and where it is needed and most of all to create an atmosphere of fun and fellowship.Our members uphold the principle of I.D.I.C. ( Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations). We welcome one and all to come and be a part of our Star Trek Family.
