Gulf Coast Mensa Social Network
GREAT MINDS GATHER & GROW TOGETHER

pict1041

Gulf Coast Mensa covers the region of the Greater Houston area and Galveston Bay. Mensa is a not-for-profit organization whose main purpose is: 1) to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity; 2) to encourage research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence; and 3) to provide a stimulating intellectual and social environment for its members.

We sponsor Special Interest Groups (SIGs), speaker meetings, game nights, and other intellectual and social events.  In Mensa, members can meet other stimulating members, join one of the over 150 special interest groups (SIGS), and attend local, national, and international events. Mensa encourages and supports programs for gifted children, sponsors research into the nature of intelligence and awards thousands of dollars in scholarships each year.

At our latest "Regional Gathering" we had thought provoking speakers, tastings and other stimulating experiences... we even learned to belly dance!  There are so many ways to enjoy yourself, even on a limited budget, you will wish you had joined sooner.  If you recently joined or need information about logging on the site please notify: webmaster@gcmensa.org

RVC6 Report
Written by Roger Durham   
Saturday, 28 August 2010 02:58
From time to time, unfortunately, members of Mensa make themselves so obnoxiousDonkey that their fellow members, in self-defense,  find it necessary to impose some sort of disciplinary action upon the miscreants. This is accomplished by means of the procedures specified in Article IX of the Bylaws of American Mensa, which can be found on the national website (www.us.mensa.org).
