Talk Mensa With Me

Dizzy trying to find out which way Mensa is going? Make this one of your stops to find out about the ins and outs of American Mensa, Ltd. (AML).

Interested in the happenings of Metropolitan Washington Mensa? I'll be able to either directly answer your questions regarding the running of the chapter (certainly through Oct. 31, 2011, my last day as LocSec) or forward you to the appropriate person who can do so.

If you want to get in touch with me, contact me at boxmaster@alumni.williams.edu or just click on any of the "comments" links throughout this blog.

Permit Opt-Out of Bulletin

We spend an oodle of money printing and mailing the Bulletin every month. Approximately 50% of all AML members are currently receiving epublications or are eligible to do so. An extra 27% of AML members have e-mail addresses on file (but presumably have one or more settings put in such a way that they don't get epublications).

Given the above, why don't we give the membership the opportunity to receive their Bulletin online rather than in hardcopy. If we were able to hit 50% of the membership opting to receiving the Bulletin only electronically, we could save somewhere in the vicinity of $150,000 (approximately $3/person worth of dues). Why don't we do that?

If elected as Secretary to AMC, this is certainly one of the things I will try to get implemented.
