Roaming the Region
by
(aka Gloater), RVC Region 3
Well we just wrapped up another Region 3
RG—the Col-M-Pics in my home group, Columbus
Area Mensa. We had gold, silver, and bronze medals for presentation to the
winners of all the games and tournaments and also to the groups with the best
Col-M-Pic t-shirt and flag. After tallying all of the medal counts, the overall
bronze medal (17 points) went to Region 4 with RVC 4 Cyndi Kuyper accepting
(just about all “outsiders” were grouped there); the silver (21.83 points) to
Cincinnati with LocSec Misty Richmond accepting; and the gold (22.16 points) to
the host city, Columbus with President and RG Chair Jeff Wolfe accepting. All
registrants received small stuffed bears that Red Bellamy dressed in togas and
wreaths. My personal gold winner favorite has got to be Barry Austern for his
“Name the Bear” entry of “Shut Up Bear-y”. My thanks to all of you who were
able to make it to the RG; next up is
Pittsburgh over Labor Day weekend, a four-day funfest.
National Testing Day is coming
up before we know it. Last year, 1,593 people tested on NTD—the most ever.
This year, NTD is scheduled for Saturday, October 16th; so far eleven
of our sixteen Region 3 groups have registered to participate. Hopefully the
other five will submit forms soon. We had 4,660 members in Region 3 in the June
30th listing; let’s see if we can top 5,000 by the end of the year.
If you are a Proctor, and haven’t done so already, please get with your
Coordinator and request to host a session.
I am in the process of doing my Roaming the
Region tour again with visits planned for Mid-Michigan, Traverse City, and ECOM
during the last three weekends in August. Give me some advance notice of
special events in your group and I’ll try to schedule it in.
