PRESS RELEASE
Klingon Fans to Meet Locally Face-to-Face on July 5th Worldwide
for the First International Klingon Meetup Day
Montreal, Canada (June 7, 2003) - In celebration of it's website's
7th anniversary on the Net, the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps
today announced it has established a partnership with Meetup
Inc. to help generate monthly face-to-face Klingon fan gatherings
in hundreds of cities and towns around the world. Through http://klingon.meetup.com
Klingon fans can now easily self-organize and meet face-to-face
in local venues around the planet.
"Through the years we've continued to hear from Klingon
fans who've had great difficulty in tracking down other local
fans in their area. This service will be a new and exciting way
for those Klingon fans to meet and connect in their own communities."
says Capucine Plourde, founder and director of the Klingon Imperial
Diplomatic Corps.
"This is also ground-breaking in that it is a non-partisan
Klingon gathering, not biased towards any one particular Klingon
club, group or organization, but rather can bring together anyone
who has an interest in Klingon culture, society or language.
The KIDC has actively encouraged participation in our many Klingon
online groups, forums and mailing lists; but now Klingon fans
will have a great opportunity to connect face-to-face on a monthly
basis."
The first "International Klingon Meetup Day" is
Saturday, July 5th at 2 p.m. local time around the globe, and
will continue on the first Saturday of each month thereafter.
