Region 1 RVC Roundup

May was a fairly busy month for me, but just a little of it was Mensa-related (non-Mensa busyness included a bar mitzvah, two book launches, a Kickstarter project, and a science fiction convention). The first Wednesday of the month—as we’ve been doing for nigh unto two years—was Greater New York Mensa’s monthly trivia night, in which we squeaked out a victory. In the middle of the month was a late-planned, SIGHT-coordinated get-together with two foreign members who were visiting New York City, and though the event was canceled at the last minute, four of us locally still wound up getting together for an evening of nice conversation in a tapas bar. The second weekend of the month was Boston Mensa’s Cape Cod Mini-RG. As I’ve been saying, it may be time for them to drop the “mini” appellation and just call it an RG without programming. The number of attendees continues to rise, and in keeping with modern RG-attending sensibilities, several flew in from across the country (I know there were people from Wisconsin, North Carolina, Illinois, California, and at least six from Texas). As I tend to do at conventions, I stayed up way too late hanging out with people I don’t often see, having a great time. I once again urge you to get out there and meet Mensans from beyond your local area. It used to be that you could only do so at the Annual Gathering, but with modern travel sensibilities, even an attractive Regional Gathering will draw them in. (Unfortunately, that means RGs separated by time zones may still be in conflict.) June, too, promises to be a slower month Mensa-wise (well, there may be a few local events I can attend), but I’ve got my travel plans already booked for the AG in Indianapolis at the beginning of July. And for those of you interested in the business of Mensa, the AG is the host of one of the four yearly meetings of the American Mensa Committee (the national board of directors), which is open for all members to watch how our business is transacted. Also at the AG is the Annual Business Meeting: the time when the AMC reports to the members of the state of our organization. I urge you all to attend the ABM. And finally, Saturday evening at the AG, I’ll be giving what I hope will be an entertaining and amusing talk entitled “John Kennedy’s Grandma, Bill Clinton’s Mother, and John Tyler’s Grandchildren: Familial Oddities of the Presidents of the United States.” Remember, the newsletters (and calendars) from your nearby local groups are available to you on the Mensa web site (from the main us.mensa.org web site, pull down the “Read” tab and click on “Local Group newsletters”), and I urge you to share your events with those surrounding groups’ calendar editors. Keep up to date with the latest goings on in the region in Region 1’s Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/188180494045/

News from the Chapter President

Southern CT Mensans: Summer is here! Good news—we’re planning our third annual picnic at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center! It will be on a Sunday afternoon in August—I have to solidify the date, but will likely aim for August 12. We’ll confirm via email and social media (Facebook, Twitter, blog), so I encourage you to make sure you’re signed up to get communications via those methods for the latest information. Changing subjects, we have a few volunteer positions open or potentially open. Frank Skornia has stepped down as Secretary due to other commitments—many thanks to Frank for his service. And Merrill Loechner, our inimitable Publications Officer (and unofficial RG registrar for Region 1), is in the process of moving. For now, she’s sort of bi-chapter and willing to keep doing the newsletter, but at some point, she will likely fully leave Southern CT. Anyone interested in either role, please reach out to me or another officer to learn more about it. And something always seems to get in the way, but I really do plan to have a Games Events with Mind Games games one of these days! Enjoy the sun! Joan Coprio President, Southern CT Mensa

Poetry Corner From the Mensa Writers' SIG: http://www.calliopeontheweb.org. Live, Friend, Taste... Charles Boulley-Duparc (1922) Live, friend, let us taste the sublime days of our age, Fleeting joys, like blithe travels in which we engage. Entreat us! From the shifting tangle pick the rose, A summer radiant, now quite satisfied shows Its gifts that autumn only offers in torment. We live! And that, dreaming of youth e’er infinite Brings us to Old Winter that we’ll call spring again. And when September paints the garden dark in tint, Some sad care then delivers me thoughts of the fall. I care not to love those fading leaves that now call A sour wind where the pond turns a green to endure And the water’s stream weeps a forbidden azure. Go! All the seasons are seasons blissfully whole, Open your eyes, an offer from a gracious soul Of worlds animated where each season abounds In their manifest rhythms, colors, shapes and sounds! About the Poets: This poem is a coastal collaboration by Mensans Bruce Wodhams (CA) and Bruce Miller (CT). The Bruces are friends through the Mensa Haiku Special Interest Group. They decided to translate a nearly century-old French poem as a writing project. Mr. W. supplied the artistry, meter, and rhyme, while Mr. M. found the poem and contributed a workman-like translation.

Quantum Paul Milenski Quantum sounds too big for poets but for Scientists not. It’s when atoms smash and Something happens for no reason after all. General relativity defines the large, Our constellations and our stars, distanced Farther than the white-hot speed of light. Space and time are aspects of the same. Imagine that and throw your clocks away. In a world of nighttime there is no night In a world of daytime there is just light. Mathematics is all that all sense is. Poetry is all nonsense: the biggest-little Our mind assumes, nowhere, nowhen— When some fine days are all days all at once. About the Poet: SIG member Paul Milenski is an Iowa Writers’ Workshop Fiction Writer recently enraptured by poetry. He works as a Massachusetts Trial Court Investigator for Care and Protection cases.
