The local for Jackson and Battle Creek Michigan, centering around 3E and Skylark Smith. They had exotic names for their officers such as Chief Pilot, Chief Communications Officer, etc. This club led to the awak­ening of Michifandom. It broke up when the Slan Shackers moved to Los Angeles. Not to be confused with the Galactic Roomers, the inhabitants of the Ashley apartment who later founded Slan Shack itself.
