What started out as a few friends from Huntsville has turned into a club of 45 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E83\">\u201cWe try to make our club very multi-faceted,\u201d said executive officer Erin Davies, who lives in the States. \u201cSome members are huge Star Trek fans and join for the watch parties and friendship but others are mainly charity-driven. We have something for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E93\">The USS Nomad used to start a new project almost every month, but now they are making them even bigger and spanning a few months to raise more funds for each charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E96\">Their newest project is a food drive to help The Table as the local charity transitions into the tough winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E99\">Last year they did a similar project and gathered 1,500 pounds of food for the members\u2019 local food banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E104\">\u201cI have never seen a charity at the level of dedication as The Table. You guys should be really proud you have an organization like them in your community,\u201d said Davies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E110\">Randy Mitson joined the club after seeing how much charity work they were doing and how they aligned with his passion for helping the Huntsville community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E113\">\u201cThis charity aspect brings our club to the real world,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a science fiction fantasy show but we love bringing Star Trek back to the real world and helping real people. The fandom and friendships are an amazing added bonus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E125\">The USS Nomad will be competing against another Star Trek Club called KAG (Klingon Assault Group) to gather the most food for their respective charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E128\">\u201cLast year Klingon beat us so we we need to defeat them,\u201d said Davies. \u201cWe are determined\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E139\">If you want to join the club or learn more about it visit <a href=\"http:\/\/ussnomad.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">ussnomad.ca<\/span><\/a>. You don\u2019t have to be a fan of Star Trek to join \u2014 if you are looking to volunteer or be a part of a new community they would love to have you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"E156\">They will be collecting food from November 1 to December 31.
