LOCSEC NOTE
Debi's Dithering
Hi Everybody --
I can't believe we're headed into summer vacation already. Holy moley. Wasn't it just
yesterday that I was taking my Christmas tree down? Oh, wait. It *was* just yesterday.
No. I keed. I keed. I forgot to put a Christmas tree up last year, so of course it would not
still be up in May.
But seriously. We've got a lot of really cool things happening this month -- check out the
calendar! If you don't see something that blows your mind with how
compelling it is, let us know what compels you, and we'll add it next month.
For instance, look at the C.R.O.P. meeting on the 14th: Harry Mursten, a local member
frustrated with the exclusively social nature of most of the local Mensa activities (Hi Harry!),
has suggested that we use our prodigious brains to improve the world, and he's connected us with
TCC and the College Reach-Out Program. If you've been thinking that Mensa's just a bunch of geeks
getting together socially, please attend this information session and see how you can help smart
kids at risk and boost your karma, all at the same time!
All it takes to start a movement is ONE member passionate about ONE thing.
What's your passion?
Let us know!
Your Loyal Local Chair,
Debi
Welcome, New Members!
Welcome New and Reinstating Members!
Robert, Emma, Charles, Barry, and Mustafa, we're so glad to have you all here! Please join us at
our next gathering and let us get to know you. And if you feel shy or unsure in any way, contact

as possible. :-)
See our current local by-laws (PDF format), and the
national minimum standards for bylaws (PDF format).
Upcoming Events
April showers are supposed to bring May flowers, but around here April doesn't bring much in
the way of spring showers (did you know April is one of our driest months?). And most of our
spring flowers have already faded and gone. But May does bring a wealth of events and a lot of
variety, so come on out and join us for an event or two (or three!).
Check the calendar page for complete details.
May also brings our next testing for membership. Check the calendar page
for full details.
