Mensa Foundation Needs Your Help

Posted in National Mensa on February 11, 2007

Microsoft’s QnA Live and American Mensa have teamed up to create a lively “Ask Mensa” contest for the month of March that will give your brain a workout while raising money for the Mensa Education & Research Foundation. Click “Read More” for all the info.

From AMLNews:

“Our goal is to gather 50 Mensans - 10 teams of 5 people - to log onto QnA Live throughout the month of March to ask questions, give answers and vote for the best answers. (The emphasis is on answering questions, so the public can see how Mensa members respond to their queries.) As Mensa’s teams engage more with QnA members, the money rises, until we hit a $10,000 donation* to the Mensa Foundation!

“If you have 4 friends in Mensa who want to form a team, appoint a team leader who will then send the names, email addresses, and member numbers of your team of 5 to Catherine Barney at catherineb@americanmensa.org. Please note, your name/email address will be sent to QnA Live. They will keep the addresses on file until the end of the promotion in April.

“To create a QnA Live ID, each team member will need to visit https://accountservices.passport.net/ppnetworkhome.srf?vv=450&lc=1033. Please email your QnA Nickname and User Profile URL to Catherine, so your account can be tagged “Mensa” during the month of March. We’ll need this information by February 2.

“If you want to join a team, but don’t have enough members, send Catherine your name and we can try to place you in a team that isn’t full yet.

“*Each time a Mensa member participates in March, it adds to the total donation, with a maximum donation of $10,000.”
