Teresa, well done--it sounds like you have put in a lot of volunteer hours! Can you give me an idea of which chapters have well-established children's programs and which are still under development?

Hi, I'm new here. Glad to have found this place

I'm a Mensan too. Took the test about 5 years ago, simply to see if I qualified, and was ecstatic when I received my membership in the mail. That was the first indicator, the first real validation for me, that I was above average in intelligence (much less gifted!), because I kept doubting my own perceptions.

I kept wanting to attend the various activities, but never did. Maybe I'll fork up the annual membership fee again and actually try meeting a few folks this time!

Thanks for the congrats, all. I actually was not able to attend the gethering, so I am looking forward to getting my award when my friends come home this week.

I will have to do some investigating into the activity levels of various groups. The national GC Program Coordinator position just changed hands, so it may take a bit to find this out. But if I find some useful information, I'll pass it along.

Hope you decide to come back, promethea. The great thing about Mensa is that it provides a network of people all over the world, not just in your local area. So if you don't find a friend in your neighborhood, check out the online forums and special interest groups to find people in other areas.
