Warp Speed to 2063, Engage

In Star Trek lore, Bozeman, Montana is where humanity takes its first bold step into the galaxy. On April 5th, 2063, Dr. Zefram Cochrane launches the Phoenix, marking First Contact with the Vulcans—and ushering in a new era of unity and exploration. While this monumental event may be fictional, its ideals are very real: OPTISMISM, UNITY and EXPLORATION for a brighter tomorrow. Join us in turning fiction into a community tradition by asking the Bozeman City Commission to officially declare April 5th as First Contact Day each year.

Dear Members of the Bozeman City Commission,

We humbly request that Bozeman officially declare April 5th each year as “First Contact Day.” While the warp flight of Dr. Zefram Cochrane and the subsequent meeting with the Vulcans may be fictional, its message is anything but: it celebrates humanity’s unshakeable belief in exploration, cooperation, and a brighter tomorrow. By embracing this date, you’ll help transform Bozeman into the heart of one of the galaxy’s most uplifting stories—a place where imagination takes flight faster than you can say, “Engage!”

Enshrining First Contact Day in Bozeman means igniting the passions of Trekkies everywhere with community events, science fairs, gatherings, and educational programs that herald new frontiers and celebrate the best of human ambition. It’s a chance to spark not just our imaginations but our collective spirit of innovation—leading us all the way to April 5, 2063, when we’ll raise a glass of Romulan Ale (or maybe just a good Montana microbrew) to the day that inspires us all to boldly go where no community has gone before!

Live Long and Prosper,

[Your Name]
