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 Lexington, Frankfort, and eastern Kentucky, and is in Mensa Region 3. Our bylaws were last revised in 2005.

We try to have three Bluegrass Mensa get-togethers per month. Our usual schedule is:

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