What we’re about
The aim of this group is to unite fans of Star Trek, young and old, who enjoy the shows, films, or play Star Trek Online. We will be meeting face to face and online. All are welcome. Regular members will become part of the crew of the U.S.S. Portland. Based in the Portland metro area, we have meetups ranging from as far west as Beaverton, to the north in Vancouver, to the south in Oregon City, and to the east in...well we haven't had much towards the east yet :) Perhaps a Trek-style hike on Mt. Hood sometime? Come and enjoy us!
Never forget Chris Rockhold, our founder. May he rest in peace...at his new job in Kansas teaching pilots how to fly!

McMenamins UFO FestivalThe 24th annual UFO Festival lands at Hotel Oregon on the eve of May 17, bringing experts, experiencers and a cosmos of fun!
On the serious side, skeptics and believers alike are invited to speaker presentations in the McMinnville Community Center, and this year’s lineup is outstanding: former Navy pilot and UAP witness Ryan Graves speaks about his experiences; Pulitzer Prize finalist, journalist and author Garrett M. Graff addresses the myths and realities of the government’s quest to understand UFOs; and Roderick Martin unmasks a UFO taboo with “Project B.L.A.C.K. and the Hidden Truths.” Plus, ufologists discuss the mysterious 1948 Aztec, New Mexico flying saucer and the chances of non-human intelligence among us and answer audience questions during the speaker panel.
A party kicks off the lighter side of the weekend, and it’s all fun from there: live music, street fair, costume contests for people and pets, Alienator IPA, and much more – and most of it is free!
