FOR FAN CLUBS
I ran Kate Mulgrew's official fan club, KMAS Inc., for more than five years and edited its newsletter Now Voyager. Here is our first mission statement.
My very first editorial, from before the club was official.
Some commentary on the behavior of certain overzealous individuals.
Most of these are common sense, but sometimes it's helpful to hear someone else tell you to follow your instincts.
Many people starting clubs or organizing conventions have asked whether they could take a look at the KMAS bylaws.
