Editorial:
Mensa is an organization run by volunteers, if you want it to be vibrant
and interesting you need to help out a little bit with events and executive
functions. If a lot of people contribute, it doesn’t take much effort
individually. Our next AGM is scheduled for May 2022 at which time
the positions of LocSec, Deputy LocSec, and Treasurer needs to be
filled, it would be nice to have new people come forward for these
positions. I am currently the webmaster for this website, a volunteer
for this position is also welcome. We also need reporters and
contributors for this website, volunteers please. Volunteer organizers
are also wanted for TGIF dinners, Wed. Lunches, games/movie nights.
The Pandemic is difficult for all of us. No in-person events were held
until July 2021, a Potluck Dinner at Mary Freeman’s. This Potluck
event is held 3rd Sunday monthly and so far every month, hopefully
the Omicron Varient will not prevent future in-person events. There
will be no Potluck this month because a lot of Members need to
attend family events.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
