Friday, November 6, 6:30 PM: Dining Out SIG.
Meet Delaware Valley Mensa Program Coordinator Pete Stevens at the Spaghetti Warehouse, 10th and
Spring Garden Streets, Philadelphia, PA, for a wonderful Italian meal. This is an easy
location to get to, and there is plenty of parking behind the restaurant and on Spring Garden
Street. If you have never been here you are in for a treat. The atmosphere is a joy to the eye
with something of visual interest everywhere you look. The menu contains a wide selection at a
very reasonable price; therefore cost should not be a factor in your decision-making.
The Dining Out SIG is an excellent activity for new members and potential members to meet
and get a feel for DVM. Please email
Pete Stevens or call him at 215-235-PETE to RSVP by Friday at noon so
accurate reservations can be made.
Friday, November 6, 6:30 PM: Yakking Pundits of Merriment: Note the new time.
Join us a half hour later than previously scheduled to eat and yak at the Coastline Restaurant, 1240 Brace Road,
Cherry Hill, NJ, 08034 (Restaurant phone 856-795-1773). Great menu and salad bar. Without having to fight rush hour
traffic, we should all be settled for great conversation, so be prepared. All Mensa members and your guests are
invited. Your yak-happy hosts: Lesley and Steve Slepner, 856-667-3504.
Saturday, November 7, 4 PM until ?: Let the Games Resume at Vic's in LeisureTowne (GeezerTown).
Lots of games, snacks, friends/competitors, a dinner-like vegetarian entree, dog and cats to pet -- what more could
you ask for? Why, board games, of course! The highlighted games this month are new additions: 24/7 and Ming Dynasty.
Most of the old favorites are still here and many are still sobbing in loneliness from being neglected during the
summer hiatus. Please RSVP and come on over to South Central Jersey. Emailing
Vic is best but calling and leaving a message before Saturday is OK
too. 609-388-4083. Next Games Night: December 5.
Saturday, November 7, 11:59 PM: Proteus Deadline.

Friday, November 13, 8:00 PM: DVM General Membership Meeting:
The Lenape Indians of the18th Century, by Chief Teedyuscung.
Ray Hershberger has been a US Parks Ranger for 30-odd years. In his capacity as a ranger, he can be stationed at any
of the historical landmarks that make up America’s most Historic Square Mile. His knowledge, therefore, of colonial
days, is unsurpassed.
Due to a Native American background, Ray has always been fascinated with his heritage and has spent his life studying
and acquiring knowledge about his people. He has brought that knowledge to life with a personification of Chief
Teedyuscung, who will be present at our November General Membership Meeting.
Prior to the meeting, those who can, are invited to attend the pre-General Membership Meeting Dinner at a secret
location someplace in the heart of "the City with a Million Eat'ries" 's very own Chinatown or Ol'City. This is an
excellent opportunity to have a good meal and get to speak with the evening's guest, one on one. Contact
Pete Stevens to reserve your place at dinner, by NOON on Friday.
Join us at the Police Administration Building, 750 Race Street, Philadelphia,
PA. This meeting is DVM's only activity specifically open to the public, so feel free to invite your friends and
relatives.
PS: Don't let traffic on the Schuylkill Expressway interfere with attending. Consider taking SEPTA and exiting at
Market Street East / Gallery, it is only a two block walk to the Police Administration Building. Contact Contact
Pete, 215-235-pete, for additional information.
Saturday, November 14, 12:30 PM: The Western Suburbs Lunch Group

Thursday, November 26, 2:00 PM: Delaware Valley Mensa’s THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and I plan to celebrate it in full splendor, with as many of my friends and
soon-to-be friends, as I can squeeze into my home. Plan to gather at my flat in the Art Museum area of Center City
Philadelphia for a fun-filled afternoon of good food and good conversation. (Easy to get to and plenty of parking.)
I will provide the meat. You can count on turkey being on the menu but there just might be one or two other things
to choose from. I will also supply snacks, silverware, glassware and stoneware.
- Those whose last names begin with A -> E: bring a vegetable.
- Those whose last names begin with F -> K: bring a side dish
- Those whose last names begin with L -> P: bring beverages (remember,
not everyone drinks or likes diet)
- All the rest, bring a dessert.
There should be enough to serve yourself and four (4) others, i.e. five servings all together. If you come as a
couple make that eight (8) others, i.e. ten servings all together. Recipes to distribute are optional.
