Orange County Mensa Regional Gathering - 2010

 

Orange County Mensa welcomes you to its 2010 Regional Gathering! See and hear the RG's programs; catch up with old friends; make new friends; get a room; step outside for a smoke; enjoy the famous OC Mensa Hospitality Suite (but, please keep Hospitality food and beverages in Hospitality; this was the concession that we made to the hotel to get such cheap rooms); swim a few laps in the pool; relax in the Jacuzzi; visit the local attractions if you're from out of town; have a great time. Enjoy the Summer.

Questions? Comments? Complaints? Attaboys/attagirls? Talk to a committee-person – the folks wearing a [here insert ridiculous garb].

This Program Booklet also appears on the OC Mensa website, ocmensa.org (click on "Regional Gathering"). Write down that website address! Additional info (such as links to speakers' websites) will be added well into the autumn. Note Well: The Program Booklet, like the program itself, is a Perpetual Work In Progress. Dates/times/places are subject to change. Check this website often during the run-up to the RG! Once the RG begins, check the update boards at the Hospitality Room and at the Registration Desk.
