Central South Carolina Mensa

THE PREZ BOX

None of us is as smart as all of us. —Ken Blanchard

It’s true. Every Mensan is smart and has the credentials to prove it. But as smart as we are, we’re even better when we pool our collective brainpower. No doubt, the author of The One Minute Manager got it right. Later this month, your ExComm will be getting together to plan Central South Carolina Mensa’s (CSCM) upcoming calendar year. The goal of our fall workshop, as usual, is to provide you, the membership, with an outstanding variety of interesting, engaging, and downright fun events and meetings. Take a moment to help shape the future of CSCM! Here’s how:

• Send us an email to tell us your ideas for outings or special events that you would like to attend with your fellow Mensans.
• Send us a guest speaker’s name (or even just a topic) that you think would be a good fit for one of our dinner meetings. (We’ll do the rest.)
• Volunteer to be a guest speaker for an upcoming dinner meetings and share with us your special interest, hobby, or professional expertise.
• Let us know what CSCM events you enjoyed this year and what you would like to see more (or less) of in 2019.
• Consider volunteering for a role on the CSCM leadership team.
• Join us in person for our next dinner meeting or event and make CSCM even smarter! 

Good things are happening at CSCM. Be a part of it. See you soon,

Karen
