TrekUnited's sister site, SciFiUnited.com, today launched a new site design that's much more appealing to the eye, as well as providing much better access to the latest news from across the science fiction and fantasy world. The forum also has recieved several improvements over the past weeks and is tightly integrated with the new site. 

Welcome one and all to issue #21 of our newsletter. This month we open the door to your comments like never before. TrekUnited has never been so accessible to the user, and by sending us your comments we can only hope to improve. Whether you want to praise or have a complaint, the newsletter is hear to take your call. E-mail your comments to newsletter@trekunited.com, and see if you make it into next month's edition.

Thank you for taking part in last month's poll. We asked you two questions. Have you ever entered the world of Second Life?

27.3% said yes, while 72.7% said no.

We then asked whether the addition of Star Trek to that world would increase the likelihood of you entering?

55.2% said yes, and 44.8% said no.

On March 17th at 8pm US EDT, the TrekUnited Staff will hold a Town Hall Meeting in the chat room located in the forum section. If you have questions, complaints, or ideas you want to share, or would like to just hang out and chat with everyone, we invite you all to attend.

We know you have a voice. You demonstrated that throughout the 2005 SaveEnterprise campaign, so what better way than to see what improvments you would like on TrekUnited, than to let you use that voice. The Town Hall Meetings will become a regular event where TrekUnited staff can connect with our members, to work together so that we can get the best out of the resources available, and make sure you know everything there is to know about what is going on behind the scenes.

Trek United hosted a surprise, semi-private chat this last Tuesday on the 6th of March, 2007 featuring Connor Trinneer, known to Star Trekfans as Charles "Trip" Tucker from Star Trek: Enterprise. The chat was not announced to the general public since it was a small event arranged for a special group of fans who post in the TrekUnited forum thread "How Cute is Connor Trinneer". A special favour by Connor for this dedicated group of fans.

Over the last month, TrekUnited has had the great privelage to be able to bring you a remarkable opportunity to obtain an original painting by award-winning cartoonist and illustrator, David Reddick. The 12x12 inch painting depicts a Borg drone, in “The Trek Life’s” signature style, signed by David Reddick. The auction is now closed, and the painting sold for $120, which will go towards the American Cancer Society. Thank you to all those that participated. 

First, I'd like to apologise for the mailing... or lack thereof... for some of our subscribers... we experienced a network hiccup, so I will be looking into a better system for the mailing list in the coming days... and hopefully get a proper mailing made.

Welcome back to HFO, and we have quite the issue for you. It's TrekUnited's birthday, and we're happy to be celebrating it with StarTrek.com's David Reddick. We also bring you lots of new features, and we give you the invitation to send us your comments on the poll at poll@trekunited.com, on our new recipe column at hfocafe@trekunited.com, or your general comments to newsletter@trekunited.com.

To mark the second anniversary of TrekUnited, Inc., TrekUnited.com is proud to bring you a remarkable opportunity to obtain an original painting by award-winning cartoonist and illustrator, David Reddick. This 12x12 inch painting depicts a Borg drone, in “The Trek Life’s” signature style, signed by David Reddick. This piece of Trek artwork is truly one of a kind. All funds made from the sale will go towards charity, in the true Roddenberry spirit. 

We are pleased to announce that David Reddick will be adding his cartooning talents to Hailing Frequencies Open (HFO), the TrekUnited newsletter. Starting with the next issue, we will be featuring a David Reddick cartoon in every edition. You will also be able to catch an interview with David, as well as information on the upcoming auction of an original David Reddick painting. Be sure to catch the next HFO when it becomes available!
