Temperance @
Tim's Cajun Kitchen

Twelve local Mensans gathered on Friday at Tim's Cajun Kitchen to enjoy great Cajun food and lively conversation. Temperance has become a great activity to get to know more about your fellow Mensans in a relaxed atmosphere. Plan to join us next month!

Executive Committee Meeting

Saturday May 26, 2:00 PM

         The Executive Committee will meet at Shirley and Ken Shepard's home prior to the beginning of FS&M. All Mensans are welcome to attend and participate in planning North Alabama Mensa's upcoming activities. For details, see FS&M below.

FS&M & Games

Saturday May 26, 2:30 PM

     This month's FS&M and Games will be hosted by Shirley and Ken Shepard at their home, located at 12 Shadow Way, Priceville, Alabama, . Please see you newsletter for detailed directions. You're welcome to bring a dish or a snack to share. After the official FS&M we can play games or chat.

     FS&M is �Fold, Spindle and Mutilate� - our affectionate term for assembling the newsletter. FS&M is the perfect activity for new members to attend. Lots of time to talk and get to know your fellow Mensans.   The pages get collated, folded, stapled and labeled. No experience necessary, free training, and you get the scoop early, along with another opportunity for interesting chatter. Family members welcome. It usually takes less than ninety minutes.

Let's Eat

     Local group members usually schedule two opportunities for our members to join together at local restaurants for dinner on Wednesdays. For obvious reasons, they are referred to as "Let's Eat, Huntsville" and "Let's Eat, Madison." Both provide great atmospheres for enjoying the company of fellow Mensans.

Temperance

   If you're new to MENSA you might be misled by the tongue-in-cheek name of this event. Don't let that keep you from joining us on the first Friday of each month at 5:30. The truth is, we drink up and relax after a hard week at work or play (for the retired folks). Some order dinner, others just enjoy the company and a couple of drinks. On the odd-numbered months we meet at Tim's Cajun Kitchen on Jordan Lane. On the even numbered months we meet at Casa Blanca on Bailey Cove road in south Huntsville. The event is open to all members and their families. Hope to see you there!

Mensa Kids Trek Program

May Dinner Meeting
Sunday May 20, 6:30 PM

    This month's dinner meeting will held at Logan's Roadhouse, (www.logansroadhouse.com) located at 4249 Balmoral Dr. SW, Huntsville, AL (256-881-0584). Our speaker will be researcher W. Eric Phillips. His presentation is titled "What's New With Stem Cell Research."



Don't Forget Your White Elephants!

          Don�t forget to bring your �white elephants� to the dinner meeting. These are items you no longer treasure, but think someone else will. Items are brought in bags and numbers are assigned to names and the fun begins as random numbers are called. The most popular items are books and magazines - Mensans never have enough to read!
