Volunteers from ECOM are available for twenty minute presentations about
Mensa to your group or organization.
Our presentations typically cover qualifying for Mensa; how to
join; costs involved; what we do; activities and meetings; our
scholarship program; activities for gifted children; weekend gatherings;
Mensa publications; and more.
Please contact our Speakers Bureau to arrange for a program about Mensa. We
generally require two weeks notice to provide a speaker.
Our meetings and activities
We have one main meeting on the Final Friday of the month at which we
usually have a speaker. All Mensa Members and their guests are welcome, and prospective members
may attend two events.
There are many other smaller gatherings throughout the month hosted by
individual members throughout our 'territory'. There are generally no speakers
at these functions and activities vary widely.
Check our calendar for details.
Our newsletter
We publish a monthly newsletter for local members which has been
nominated in the past for various publication awards at the
American Mensa Annual Gathering. All Mensa members with web access may read it
online and access back issues
(see Members Only link at the left.) Mensa members outside the local group may
purchase a paper-mail subscription if they choose.
