What does my pet get out of this?
Your animal companion will be assigned a unique PCC-number and a membership certificate will be issued to you. Additionally, your pet's information will appear on SFI's Web site, proclaiming to the universe that your pet is an explorer, just like you. Membership also includes a monthly newsletter full of helpful information concerning the care of pets (PetFleet has an archive of newsletters, and in the future all newsletters will be PDF'ed and sent to your e-mail address.)
Can I register a mascot?
Stuffed mascots, or any mascot, are the dreams universities are made of. Yes, you may register your chapter's mascot along side your pet. No questions asked.
I see some pets have their pictures up. Does this cost extra?
Not one red cent. Simply contact PetFleet Membership Processing and make arrangements for a picture to be sent over.
Who runs this program?
PetFleet was originally administered out of Region 17 by Stormy, the Yellow-Bellied Marmot, a chapter mascot in his own right. Most recently it became a program of STARFLEET, payable to "STARFLEET" and is in the process of being fully integrated with SFI's database.
Is this program affiliated with STARFLEET?
Yes! The PetFleet started as a pilot project by Region 17 to attempt to show that there is sufficient interest in such a program and to encourage STARFLEET recently decided to integrate it as a full program of STARFLEET.
Does my pet or mascot (or I) have to be in STARFLEET?
Yes, unfortunately PetFleet is a program for the membership of STARFLEET the International Star Trek Fan Association Inc. STARFLEET Membership is only $15.00. For more information goto www.sfi.org.
So how much does this thing cost?
The donation is $1 per pet or mascot per year. You're paying $15 a year to STARFLEET. Isn't your best friend worth a buck? There is no limit as to how many pets and/or mascots you can have registered. Each are just a $1.
And where does this money go?
