A Region One Leadership Development Workshop (LDW) is scheduled for May 2-4, 2008, in Warwick, Rhode Island. This is an opportunity to meet other Mensans, some of whom are involved with running our organization and others would like to become more active. The LDW is intended for all Mensa members including present leaders an those who have considered becoming active but aren't sure how to start. There will be learning sessions, question and answer sessions, exchange of ideas and information to help us become more effective. There is NO CHARGE for attending the workshop which will include several meals and hospitality for which Mensa is well know, however advance registration is necessary to ensure sufficient food and supplies, and conference space. The host hotel is the Hampton Inn, and you make your own reservations. More information is available at www.rhodeisland.us.mensa.org ****************************************************************************************************** American Mensa has teamed up with Amazon.com to create Smart Buys, an online storefront for all things found where Mensa and Amazon intersect. Books licensed by American Mensa and Mensa International? Find 'em here. Mensa favorites, recommended reading about fiftedness and intelligence, and books written by Mensans? Hundreds of books have already been added, with more coming every month. Mind Games winners going back to the inaugural event? If Amazon's got 'em, so do we. And who know what we'll find to add in the future? ****************************************************************************************************** Attention all history buffs and cable junkies!
