Welcome to TREKLove by me, Brooke Pérez (SFQ1). <3
Sign up now so you don’t miss the next issue. There are lots of exciting things to come that we can all read and talk about, so come on, let’s go! Hit that button!
So, since this is kind of just the starter issue, I just kind of want to tell you what I want this to be all about, and what I hope for this to become.
Hopefully, this will basically become an extension of my Twitter page, and podcast, spotlighting ideas, charities, and probably funny things I get a kick out of.
For those that don’t know, I run a podcast called TREKLove, and it’s basic goal is to discuss and dissect all the ways that Star Trek promotes love and acceptance in our society. Even though it’s centered around aliens and far-away, fictional places, we can still glean information and morals to take and use in our lives away from the screen. It really is quite beautiful if you think about it.

So, now that I’ve laid all of that down, I would like to use the rest of this time here with your eyeballs to talk about The Hollywood Food Coalition! They’re a charity that is headed up by Mr. John Billingsley (face it, you knew I was mentioning him) as the board president. They do more work for a single charitable organization than I have ever seen in my life. They can help you with not only a meal for tonight but do you need a clean shirt, some socks, maybe a water bottle because it’s hot outside- or even- things like healthcare assistance, escorts to doctor’s appointments? They do SO MUCH, and they need our help!
If you’re able to, please check out their Amazon wish list and donate some shirts! Those are the most needed item right now. Anything else you can do would be much appreciated.
I don’t know how the people at HollywoodFoodCo feel about Star Trek, but they surely embody TREKLove every day. <3
In the meantime, tell your friends!
