Cable Show
A 1986 blurb about the club's cable show, Science Fiction Spotlight:
SF SPOTLIGHT TV SHOW: Here's an opportunity for us to tell you about the Atlanta Star Trek Society's own cable TV show- SCIENCE FICTION SPOTLIGHT. This is a weekly show produced by members of the ASTS that should be of interest to all Dixie-Trek members. If you live in Atlanta and get Prime Cable, watch for the show Sundays at 6:30 p.m. and Mondays at 9:00 p.m., and tell your interested friends. We are in need of 30-minute script ideas for the show, plus we are looking for good SF amateur films to broadcast. If you think you could help in either of these areas, contact: SF SPOTLIGHT, c/o William Smith, p.o. Box 20822, Atlanta, GA 30320. [1]

About
From Epsilon Nine Friendship Messages v.7 n1.1 (Sep/Oct 1984):
Welcome to the most enjoyable fan organization in the Southeast — the Atlanta Star Trek Society! Our club is now six years old and at present we have over 146 members. This makes us the oldest and largest STAR TREK group in Georgia. The ASTS is devoted to promoting communication between fans of STAR TREK and general science fiction — friendship and fun are our goals. This group is an amateur, non-profit organization; and its working members devote their spare time to it as part of their hobby. The ASTS has enjoyable monthly meetings, prints a yearly fanzine and this newsletter, and holds a large annual convention (more about these later). This club belongs to you — completely. Please feel free to give us your ideas whenever you wish. The ASTS is a democracy sponsored and given life by its members. We are very glad you have joined us.
The members of the ASTS who do most of the dirty work in the club (planning meetings, running conventions, etc.) are called the Fellowship. It is very easy for a regular ASTS member who has some spare time to become a Fellowship member and really get involved. Just write or speak to Owen Ogletree (address on the back of this newsletter) about getting an application form.
