Central South Carolina Mensa

What has been happening at CSC Mensa?

January Meeting

Thirty members and guests, including our Regional Vice Chair, Nancy Campbell, enjoyed a lively and highly entertaining presentation by Tom Poland. Tom is the author of multiple books, a syndicated columnist, a playwright, and a master raconteur. Mr. Poland held the audience in the palm of his hand with his account of the story behind a series of incidents, including a murder for hire, that happened right here in South Carolina.  His articulate description was laced with local color as seen through the keen eye of an investigative reporter in possession of a splendid sense of humor and charming appreciation of irony.

Our thanks to Tom Poland for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. (Yes, we have already asked him to come back.)

 Augusta/Aiken Area

The Augusta/Aiken group had a lunch on Saturday, January 11, at Tbonz Steakhouse.

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.
