Operation Tribbles was a Star Trek fan club.
From a flyer:
OPERATION TRIBBLES IS A NEW FAN CLUB IN THE STAR FLEET. WE ARE A WORKING CLUB. THAT MEANS WE HAVE A MISSION OF GOOD DEED TO PERFORM. WE SEE THAT PEOPLE IN RESTHOMES RECEIVE A STUFFED TRIBBLE (STUFFED TEDDY BEAR OR SOME SORT OF CRITTER) SO THAT WHILE THEY ARE WAITING TO BE "BEAMED UP" TO A HIGHER PLACE CALLED"HEAVEN" BY OUR GREAT CREATOR THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO. A LOT OF TIMES, OUR SENIORS ARE ALL ALONE WHEN THIS "BEAMING UP" TAKES PLACE...IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT THEY HAD SOMETHING TO HOLD ONTO TO MAKE THE WAIT, NOT SO LONELY. ALSO THAT "YOU" GAVE IT TO THEM, MAKES IT SPECIAL...IF YOU DO THIS FOR A STRANGER, OR A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY, OR A FRIEND, NO MATTER, IT IS A GOOD DEED, AND WILL LONG BE REMEMBERED BY YOU AND YOUR SENIOR THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CLUB AND IT WILL ALSO SERVE AS A GOOD STAR TREK FAN CLUB, HAVING PEN PAL LISTS, ADS FOR ITEMS FOR TRADE AND FOR SALE, STORIES FROM MEMBERS WHO HAVE DONE THIS GOOD DEED...FOUR NEWSLETTERS A YEAR, MEMBERSHIP CARD, AND STAR TREK INFORMATION WHEN AVAILABLE. ALSO CURRANT ACTIVE FAN CLUB LISTINGS.
SO COME ON...JOIN UP YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.
