RVC Thoughts
Spring, 2008
This is an unusually quiet time in the Region, which is why this will be an
unusually short column. Most newsletters will not publish this until June by
which time we will know the results of our nation elections. For those
publishing this in May, let me once again entreat those members who have not
voted to do so. The American Mensa Committee sets our direction and policies;
this is your chance to mold that body.
Mind Games, Culture Quest, and SEMM's RG are past now. Culture Quest annually
amazes me with its sheer depth of obscure trivia. I look forward to
participating each year and have never been disappointed. If any of you reading
this have never participated, give it a whirl next year. It's well worth the
ninety minutes to learn some of what you don't know.
The Annual Gathering, with its embedded AMC and Annual Business Meeting, is fast
approaching in early July. Some of us AMC members are returning, many will be
new. It will be interesting to meet and work with the new lineup. Maybe it will
business as usual, or maybe there will be a wind of change; depends on who is
elected.
Lastly, those group officers involved in membership, testing, and recruiting,
please let me know if you are having difficulties: running out of ideas, running
out of steam, or not sure what to do next. Believe me when I say that others
have probably encountered your problem, sometimes conquered, sometimes ignored.
With the vast number of great minds available to us to problem-solve, there is
no reason to let difficulties remain that way. Let me know so I can get some
solid suggestions, sure-fire cures, or at least helpful hints back to you.
Please remember that like on the Verizon commercials, you have a network behind
you. Talk with me.
