Hello All:
I am writing this from Fort Lauderdale, where I am attending the Broward County RG. It's been a fantastic weekend; almost 100 people showed up. The company is good, the hotel is nice, the weather is cooperating, and I'm having a great time.
There is a Micro-G scheduled for Grassy Key the weekend of November 6; it's not an official RG but it's a lot of fun and anyone who can make it to the Keys will have a great time. Contact Stan Bercovitch at s.bercovitch@att.net for more information. There is no official program; we just hang out, go to dinner together, and have a great time.
I've been appointed to an AMC committee looking over ways to enhance the membership experience so anyone with any ideas please let me know. We're specifically looking at what Mensa offers, both to members individually and through the local groups. This includes both what we are doing right, and what we could do better. Most members -- about 95% -- never participate in local group activities; if you're one of them, tell me why and what activities we could have that would make you more likely to participate. Let me know what you think about the Bulletin, and your local newsletter. We're going to be discussing this in more detail at the next AMC meeting in October.
Is there anyone who would be interested in being Webmaster/Webmistress for our Region 10 Web site? I mentioned in my first column that I'm hoping to revamp it and get more member participation. The current Webmaster, Eddie Truelove, has told me that due to work commitments he can't do it any more; he did a fine job and I've accepted his resignation with regrets. If you'd be interested please send me an email and let me know.
I am going to be in Jacksonville for their monthly dinner meeting in October and I hope to meet many Jacksonville Ms when I get there. I really enjoyed attending their dinner meeting several months ago when I last visited; it's a great group of people. As it happens, last time I was in Jacksonville a non-M high school classmate of mine, whom I had not seen in 30 years, was in town so I brought him along. Later that evening he told me that as a newcomer it was one of the most welcoming groups of people he'd been with in a long time; I was very pleased that they made him feel that way.
Until next month,
Mel Dahl
