Mark Lenard International Fan Club was a fan club dedicated to the actor Mark Lenard for his roles in Star Trek: TOS, Here Come the Brides, and other roles.
It was originally based in Quebec and Ottawa, Canada and run by Rosemary Ullyot and Maureen Bourns/Wilson. Later, it was headed by Ruth Berman and based in Minneapolis, MN. Later, Sharon Emily out of Indiana took the helm, and then Gail Saville and Barbara Metzke in Tallahassee, Florida.
In 1969, it had about 125 members, In 1976, according to a listing in the Star Trek Lives! program book, it had 62 members.
The club published the zine Despatch and sponsored the convention, NonCon. While not officially affiliated, this club was closely entwined with TerraCon.
The club shut down in December 1980. The editors closed it off with a very resentful open letter, see You are holding in your hands the final issue of DESPATCH.
