May 2021

What are you looking forward to this coming year? I know I’ve been impatiently waiting to see all of my Mensa friends and family in person. It’s not that we haven’t been connected, we have been well   connected online. What I’ve really missed is the face to face with others, seeing the person smile and react to our conversation and reading their body language. The ability to spend quality time in each other’s company and laugh. The greatest thing about our gatherings are the people

REMEMBER THE GIDDY feeling of running races or sprints on a track or playground at school: crouched down, heart beating, feet spread just right with toes curled, looking around at the competition, wondering who will reach the finish line first? That’s how I’m feeling about the prospect of getting together with my family and friends at upcoming Mensa gatherings. We are all waiting for the starting gun to fire so we can get running. I know I’m ready, and I bet you are too.

AS WE LOOK toward the reopening of the world, I look forward to seeing, or meeting for the first time, some of the members who have positively affected my Mensa experience. We are all different, but most of us join Mensa for a few similar reasons: to meet like minds, to engage in those oh-so-unique conversations, to prove something to ourselves or to others

AT A NEW beginning and a with tough year behind us, now is the right time to consider making some changes. We have so much to look forward to this year. Vaccinations are starting to roll out, and that makes us raring to go plan for events later this year. Eventually, we’ll be meeting in person and hugging our friends and Mensa family members. With social distancing restrictions, we haven’t been able to provide regular testing to potential candidates; however, we are making progress

WE ARE FINALLY past 2020, praises and huzzah all around. Most of us have looked forward to 2021 and returning to a somewhat normal existence. It is time to forge ahead and prepare for a fulfilling year and a better time with our friends, family, and gatherings. With that in mind, I’d like to share some of the ongoing and upcoming projects we are working on to make our organization better. As has already been announced, Private Testing with Prometric is up and running.
