Events

FEBRUARY 2008

2 February 2008 ("First Saturday Event!")

4000 University Avenue #5, Des Moines, IA


"Mensa Open House" is just that - an open house for Mensans and Mensa-wanna-bes, geared especially to allow new members, recent test-takers, first-timers, and guests to mingle with Mensans in a low-key, welcoming environment. Bring a game to convince others to play in the kitchen, start a conversation on ANY topic in the livingroom, curl up in the corner with selections from Mary's odd collection of books, put together a puzzle on the library table... Just make yourself at home in Mensa.

Only rules are bring your own beverage, a snack to share, a congenial attitude, and no messing around with the house computers' hard drives (that freaks Our Hostess out).
Contact info: 515-262-0950
