Bluegrass Mensa Web Page
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.

- 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.
