What has been happening at CSC Mensa?

October Meeting

Our October dinner meeting was an entertaining change of pace, featuring hypnotist and comedian Gary Conrad. Gary has entertained audiences in 49 states and 9 foreign countries, having appeared with numerous well-known entertainers and celebrities in person as well as on television.

He began with exercises involving the entire group, illustrating the connection between suggestibility and muscle/motor response. He then piloted a humorous session with a group of volunteers, at one point convincing at least one person that she had lost her belly button.

Thanks to Gary for providing us with a pleasant and amusing evening. Oh...if anyone finds an unattached belly button, please bring it to our next meeting.

Scholarship Awards

We were fortunate to be joined by Janelle Green and her parents for our annual award presentation for the Mensa scholarship winners. Janelle will be attending Clemson University this fall. She was awarded a local chapter award of $600, given in honor of Karen Edwards. Janelle was one of four re-cipients of Mensa scholarships given this year through Central SC Mensa. Three other scholarships were given to recipients who could not attend.
