December 2007 - January 2008 Constellation

[ LocSec | Editors | Members | Election | Party! | Events | December Calendar | January Calendar ]


Greetings to all,

We are combining the December & January Constellations so we can give our newsletter staff some well deserved time off this Holiday season. We are returning to some of our favorite venues for events in December and January for First Thirstdays and IFNs and we hope you can join us for some fun. RAM’s Holiday Party will be held December 15th at Kanatota B Lodge at Webster Park from 7 to 11 PM.

As we slip into winter we will be needing some volunteers to help Steve Lindsey and Praveen Tyle with the 2007-08 MERF Essay Scholarship Contest. This is an important cause and one of the finest things Mensa does. If you have some time to spare to help with this very worthy endeavor please give me a call @ 216-9017.

I hope you will come out and join us for some of our fun activities. Check out the calendar for this month’s events. As always, if you have an idea for an event or know of a fun place to hold an event please let me know about it. This is your group, have fun with it and share your experiences with the rest of us.

I hope to see you at this month’s events.
Best regards,
Jeff Gould
