USS Joshua NCC 3700

This Saturday at Angelo’s…

Let’s create the Rube Goldberg Machine!

The twisted and hilarious Randy will show us how to build our section of the Rube Goldberg Machine. We will then join our creations from teams to (hopefully!) make the machine work all the way to the end.

Please join us this Saturday April 18th, from 2 to 5 pm, at Angelo's Pizza and Pasta in Irving, TX.

Today at the February Club Meeting we had 30 members in attendance for the annual charity auction for the North Texas Food Bank - "Death by Chocolate".

The results: over $500 from the member donated/created Chocolate confections which we will add sponsorships to double or triple the donation.

Here are some photos from the meeting including the Van/Vanna auctioneer team.

Thank you everyone for your participation in the club and continued generosity. Truly the best crew in any fleet!

Just a reminder for the February Club Meeting.

We hope to see you there.

Today we had the January 2026 Club Meeting in Irving, TX. For a cold, windy day in January with very cold weather coming in we still had 26 members make the meeting for a very active 3.5 hours of club business, socializing and many members bringing parts of their collections for Show & Tell.

Updates for club events through March 2026 including changing the weekend for the monthly club dinners to give more separation between the club monthly dinner and monthly club meeting weekends.
