Stellar Magic at Shore Leave

Dr. Willie Yee will present at the 2024 Shore Leave Convention, a magic performance by the character S'kai of Vulcan.
Dr. Willie Yee, a retired psychiatrist, has presented Star Trek and science-themed magic shows at numerous science fiction conventions and science gatherings. This show involves extensive participation by audience members. It is aimed at adult Star Trek fans, although enjoyable by children 8 years or older.

Are You Up to the Challenge?

This year the Shore Leave Emporium, our gift store, has added a neat new item to its wonderful selection of goods…an official Shore Leave Challenge Coin! This all-metal, embossed color design, coin is limited to only 100 so they will be selling quickly. And at $20 they are practically a steal. Grab yours at the show before they disappear.

Robbie Greenberger Memorial Poker Tournament

On Saturday night of the convention, we will be holding our annual charity Texas Hold-em Poker tournament. The buy-in is simply a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. For the details, please check out our website.
