Bluegrass Mensa is a local chapter of Mensa International, a not-for-profit society whose sole qualification for membership is a score in the top 2% on any of a number of standard IQ tests. Mensa has three major purposes:

To identify and foster human intelligence.
To encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence.
To provide a stimulating intellectual, social environment for its members.

Mensa holds no opinions, champions no causes, and is not affiliated in any way with other organizations. Bluegrass Mensa serves central and eastern Kentucky, and is in Mensa Region 3. Our bylaws were last revised in 2005. We usually have a:

Dine-Around Dinner on the second or third Thursday of the month.
Games Night on the third or second Saturday of the month.
Monthly party on the last Saturday of the month.

If you live or work in our area, and are interested in joining Mensa, please contact our LocSec, John Barnes, by E-mail at jrbarnes@iglou.com or by phone at (859)253-1178. If you live outside our area, please E-mail American Mensa's National office at AmericanMensa@mensa.org for information on a Mensa group near you.

Saturday, February 13, 8:00pm-- Monthly Party at Roger and Kay's home, Richmond. Roger will present a special program on "The Art and Science of the Concert Musical Saw". Regular, ordinary, straight-backed carpenter saws are simple to play. If you play another instrument, or can whistle or sing on pitch, you too can play the saw! Roger will reveal the secrets of "sharpening your ear" and the "S configuration". Roger will have a few saws on hand, but if you have one, bring your own. Almost any length of saw will work, but 24 to 30 inches measured along the cutting edge generally works well. If you have an old violin or cello bow, bring it as well, and be prepared to have fun! Please E-mail Roger at rkdalton@bellsouth.net for details and directions.
Tuesday, February 23, 6:30pm-- Dine Around Dinner at bd's Mongolian Grill, 2309 Sir Barton Way, Lexington (in the Hamburg Shopping Center).
