STARFLEET Petfleet – Monthly Status Report

Month: October 2025
Submitted by: Fleet Captain Randy Mitson, Director of STARFLEET Petfleet

1. Major Projects / Efforts

Transition to Messenger Communities:
In response to Facebook’s retirement of group chats, STARFLEET Petfleet successfully migrated to Messenger Communities. This ensured continuous engagement and improved organization for our topic-based discussions. The new platform has been well received, with members quickly adapting and maintaining our lively conversations about pets and the fleet.

Academy Challenge:
We wrapped up our Cephalopods and Gastropods Academy Challenge for the quarter and launched the next round featuring Sponges and Corals, encouraging members to expand their Star Trek and animal knowledge through STARFLEET Academy.

STARFLEET Petfleet Custom Collars Relaunch:
Our popular custom pet collars returned this month through the STARFLEET Petfleet order form. Members can once again outfit their pets in style while representing the fleet. The response has been positive, with multiple orders placed during the campaign.

October Pet Photo Contest – “Pets in Costume”:
Our annual Halloween photo contest was a huge success. Members shared adorable and creative photos of their pets in costume, adding a dose of fun to the season. We also honoured members whose pets embarked on their Final Mission to the Rainbow Bridge, continuing our tradition of compassion and remembrance.

2. Issues & Problems

The Director has been less active this month due to family matters; however, the command and newsletter teams have done an excellent job maintaining operations and community engagement. The continued activity across events, contests, and communications demonstrates strong teamwork and dedication across the auxiliary.

No major operational issues were reported during the transition to Messenger Communities or the ongoing collar campaign.

3. Resources Needed

A financial update is requested from the Chief Financial Officer to confirm the current profit status from Quartermaster product sales. Once confirmed, we’ll determine if Petfleet has reached a sufficient balance to fund future promotional projects and community initiatives.
