WHAT'S HAPPENING

Selected Items for the Month

Monthly Meetings are always open to family, friends, interested others and the public. See the "Events Calendar" for more information.
MENSIAN GOT (no) TALENT
or
MENSIAN IDOLS

I am thinking it might be fun to have a General Membership Meeting that showcase our members' talents. Therefore I am asking for volunteers to do something that would take up 3-5 minutes (maybe a little more but, depending on how many sign up, not more than 10 minutes) and entertain the general masses.

If you are a member of a group (or can get a group together) a short skit of drama or comedy would be interesting. If you would like to be a stand up comedian, then here is a chance to try out your material, especially high brow stuff that a general audience would not appreciate. If you play a musical instrument, if you sing, either as a solo or a group, Delaware Valley Mensa would like to give you a shot at being discovered. If you are able to do duck calls or bird calls, here is your chance to let everyone be aware of your God-given gift.

I would like to include not only musical and drama/comedy talent but also provide a setting for paintings and photographs.

Not all members of the ensemble need to be a member of Mensa, and this would certainly be open to family members, even if the member was not part of the performing group.

I have a stage. You will need to bring your own instrument or accompaniment. If you paint and wish to provide a sampling, a handful can be displayed, but not a roomful.

I have not worked out the details, and if I do not get any volunteers, then there will be no details to work out. But this could be a fun evening for children and adults, and who knows where it could lead? At this moment, it is not going to be a contest but prizes of some sort could be developed.

Please let me (Pete Stevens) know that you are interested by contacting me at: Pete.stevens@phila.gov. Thank you for your time and energy in making DVM the bestest chapter in all of Mensaland.
