President's Greeting
Congratulations! You are a resident of one of the most beautiful regions of the country, the Mid-Hudson Valley. From the Newburgh view sheds of Storm King and Bannerman’s Island to the vista of the majestic Shawangunk Ridge and the Catskills, the entire area is rich in its offerings for exploration and enjoyment.
The Mid Hudson chapter of American Mensa has members in locations stretching from Columbia, Sullivan and Greene south to Orange counties. Since we are a far-flung chapter, our programming attempts to weave together local energies with chapter-wide events, currently consisting of four seasonal parties. We just had a wonderful BBQ get-together at Chuck Whitesell’s Fall New Members Mixer on September 20th, and don't miss our annual Winter Solstice Celebration at the home of Charlie Rovner on December 19th. This is in addition to repeating monthly dining outings and games nights including the recently constituted Southern Orange County group with its monthly outing. Too, one of the nice things about Mensa is that you always jump in and schedule your own event. Just submit it to the calendar editor or post a notice on our Yahoo group.
If you are looking for opportunities to socialize with peers, Mensa may be the answer. There are links on this website for you to familiarize yourself with the national organization as well as membership testing information. If you’d like to know more or would like to discuss how you would prefer to participate in our group, don’t hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you.
Our sails are full and the weather is beautiful…full speed ahead!
