Mentalism\, often considered a branch of magic\, has long amazed people. Is it selective thinking\, a spiritual phenomenon that can’t be explained by physical laws\, or something totally different? With his comedic style\, Michael has delighted people all over Oklahoma and has even enchanted audiences of all three major networks. Now he will give us a show personally and up close. Our speaker can turn an ordinary winter night into an extraordinary experience. This is a great opportunity to explore a subject you ordinarily can’t in a private setting. The only charge is the charge you will get out of sharing the evening with Magical Michael and your Mensa friends. Do bring a ‘munchie’ to share with the group\, while Michael provides our food for thought.\n\nView the COM Events Map - http://www.okmensa.org/calendar/map/ DTSTART;TZID=US-Central:20070218T013000 DTEND;TZID=US-Central:20070218T013000Z STATUS:CONFIRMED CLASS:PUBLIC UID:2082 DURATION:PT1H END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:1 DTSTAMP:20070220T180000Z SUMMARY:COM: Third Tuesday Trivia DESCRIPTION:Time: 6 pm - onward\nPlace: Henry Hudson’s\n6920 W. Hefner Rd.\, OKC\nHost: Michael Rodman\nPhone: 286-2899 (Michael\, host)\n\nNew event! Question: What activity attracts Mensans most easily? Answers: (a) eating spinach soufflé\; (b) listening to a fashion lecture\; (c) NTN trivia nights? The Triv Goddess knows the answer\, and you will not just know it but also experience it at Henry Hudson’s when you join other members of COM in this most seriously fun pursuit. Our local members compete in a friendly manner with each other\, with NTN aficionados all over the nation\, and even with other Mensans who gather throughout the country to play on Tuesdays. Even if you have never tried NTN trivia\, host Michael will be there along with long-time trivia expert Becky to show you the ropes (not a knotty problem)\, and if you have tried it\, you know how addictive it can be. This monthly event could easily turn into a weekly one\, depending on interest. Henry Hudson’s is a basic burger restaurant\, so food and drink are available readily and at a reasonable price\, but it is not required to eat there. Finding the Mensans is also easy. Look for a Mensa sign on the table. Michael Rodman is a new member of Mensa\, and we’re delighted to welcome him to our ‘host roster.’ If you have any questions\, just call him. Challenge the ordinary. Try Third Tuesday Trivia.\n\nView the COM Events Map - http://www.okmensa.org/calendar/map/ DTSTART;TZID=US-Central:20070221T000000 DTEND;TZID=US-Central:20070221T000000Z STATUS:CONFIRMED CLASS:PUBLIC UID:2084 DURATION:PT1H END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:1 DTSTAMP:20070220T190000Z SUMMARY:COM: Refugee Mensans Munch Bunch DESCRIPTION:Time: 7 pm - ???\nPlace: Golden Corral\n Sherman\, TX\nInfo: Stan Alluisi\nEmail: salluisi@netcommander.com\n\nOn the far edge of your local group\, or just passing through?

How about those idealistic ideas you wanted to implement as a teacher\, an administrator\, a nurse\, a parent\, or just about anything else\, the idealism finally getting lost in the daily grind of things? With quick Mensa minds\, are we prone to jump into a new activity like a zealot and then turn quickly into a zombie\, bored already with what we've mastered or what we've lost interest in doing? Almost every one of us has experienced the change from energetic optimism to bitter disillusionment at some point in our lives. Even caregivers have difficulty in not berating themselves when the incessant caring and loving turns to compassion fatigue. \n\nJay Martin will be helping us understand this phenomenon and exploring with us how self-care can keep us from the rapid decline – zealot to zombie. Martin is the co-director for the Oklahoma Traumatology Institute and leads workshops around the country. Listen. Ask. Enjoy. We promise that you will end this evening wide awake and ready to tackle the world without becoming a zombie. \n\n*BYOG\, in this case\, does NOT mean bring your own brains.

And there's a slot for you. This is something on which we hope you'll take a chance and try something new. Meeting is easy at this casino. Come to the main (north) door. To your right is a food court\, including Rick's Cafe\, Taco Bueno\, Burger King\, and Cinnabon. There are tables in that area\, and there you will find Jon Lundeen with a sign that says \"MENSA.\" Gather\, kibbitz\, and/or see what Lady Luck has in store for us. Some might want to choose one of the two 'real' restaurants in the casino (see article on page 10) for a good meal. This casino is one of the nicer casinos in the state and fun even if you don't gamble. If you live north and need a ride\, call the Lundeens beforehand. They will haul as many as the Town & Country can handle. Those going with (or following) the Lundeens should gather at 6:00 pm. We are leaving for Norman at 6:15 sharp in order to arrive at Riverwind on time to greet our independently arriving members. We will be returning to OKC at 9:30 sharp. It's a gambol and a n ight to gamble. \n\nDirections: Riverwind Casino\, state highway 9\, is off I-35\, just south of Norman\, with easy access. Exit at 106 and turn west.

Unusual DESCRIPTION:Time: 7:30 pm\nPlace: Lundeen residence\nPhone: 721-5064\n\nTired of the blitz\, glitz\, and occasional wits of the 2008 Presidential race? Tonight we set a different pace with Mike Fair\, who will help us explore one of the most exciting campaign years that we have ever seen. Even after the torrential unpredictability leading to the February 5th Super Tuesday primaries\, there is no slackening of questions. For the first time in 80 years\, neither the Vice President nor the sitting President is seeking the nomination. In a year with a high energy level and potentially historic outcomes\, Mike Fair -- who served 26 years in elective office for the State of Oklahoma and has known and campaigned for several Presidents\, would-be Presidents\, Governors\, U.S. Senators and Congressmen -- is the perfect speaker to aid us in making sense of the seismic shifts in political power. As a Mensan\, you are probably already aware of the commercials\, the blogs\, the pundits\, the celebrity endorsements\, and the media messages that are as much\, if not more\, conflict than content. With more young people voting than ever before\, this meeting is a great opportunity for you younger members to make your opinion known\, ask questions\, and be a part of the personal approach to politics that really does make you part of Decision 2008. We look forward to all ages coming together tonight with a spirited presentation and discussion.\n\nMike Fair has a long history of being active in government. In addition to his years in the Oklahoma Statehouse\, Mike served from 2000 – 2002 as President of Oklahomans for Right to Work\, leading the 2001 passage of Right to Work in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce selected Mike as Oklahoma's Outstanding State Lawmaker in 2001. Always the student\, Mike continues to take classes here and in New Mexico. Traveling extensively throughout the world\, learning about other cultures and how America fits into the global community\, he finds time to snow ski\, read avidly\, and golf.

If one is going on a WIGWAG\, one must have something to wag\, right? For those who have never been to a WIGWAG before\, it's an outing/experience one would prefer doing in a group. Thus … Where I'd Go With A Group. This month it's the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks\, Oklahoma. Here's your chance to learn that in (nearly) landlocked Oklahoma\, shark is not just the name of a television show or a tough lawyer. The Aquarium even has a stingray touch tank. Admission is $13.95 for adults\, $11.95 for seniors and military (I.D. required)\, and $9.95 for children ages 3-12. And\, if you find yourself all geared up about fish\, admission to the Karl and Beverly White National Fishing included in your admission price. Since Jenks is near Tulsa\, we've invited the members of Eastern Oklahoma Mensa to meet us at the Aquarium\, so here's your chance to meet members from our sister group. Come ride the wave of fun and join us.\n\nIf time permits\, we might head over to the Red Robin Gourmet Burgers after the Aquarium. We 'cod' give a reason for burgers\, but we bet you get the idea yourselves.\n\nThe Lundeen van has room for five passengers in addition to TJ and Jon. Call if you want a ride in the van (Wheeee! Free gas.) We'll take passengers in the order of their calls until the van is full. Others wanting to carpool should meet between 10:30 and 11 am at the Lundeen house (see http://www.okmensa.org/calendar/0208/politics.html for directions). We will leave at 11 am sharp! That leaves time for a potty break and a cigarette break (outside the car!) before we meet up at the Aquarium.\n\nLook for a member holding a Mensa sign either just outside the Aquarium or inside if there is a lobby.\n\nDirections (from OKC): Take I-35 N. Exit at 138 A for I-44 E/Turnpike toward Tulsa. Merge onto I-44 E/Turner Turnpike. (This is a toll road.) In just under 82 miles\, take exit 218 for Creek Turnpike E for 0.6 miles. Merge onto Creek Turnpike and go 6.6 miles to the Peoria-Elm exit. (At this point\, all distances are very short\, under a mile.) Turn left at S. Elm St. Turn right at W. 101st St. S. Take a slight left at S. Aquarium Drive. Park and look for the person holding the Mensa sign.\n\nGoogle Map for Aquarium: http://tinyurl.com/2la3u9 DTSTART;TZID=US-Central:20080223T163000 DTEND;TZID=US-Central:20080223T163000Z STATUS:CONFIRMED CLASS:PUBLIC UID:2168 DURATION:PT1H END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SEQUENCE:1 DTSTAMP:20080301T130000Z SUMMARY:COM: Mensa Testing DESCRIPTION:Time: 1:00p.m.\nContact: TJ Lundeen\nEmail: http://www.okmensa.org/contact/officer/testing\n\nThe next Mensa test has just been scheduled! The test session costs $40\, payable by check or money order to American Mensa\, Ltd. The test session takes about 2 1/2 hours. During that time\, two tests are administered\, with a short break after the first test. You need to score at Mensa admission level on only one of those tests to be offered membership in Mensa. Other than the test session fee (payable at the time of the test)\, you will need a photo I.D. If you are not fluent in English or are under 14 years old\, we cannot administer the Mensa tests to you. If you are under 18\, you will need a parental consent form. If you need one\, just contact the testing coordinator and she will send one to you immediately.\n \nTesting is fun. Most of our test takers enjoy it once they begin the procedure. We seem to have a large rate of admission offers in our chapter.\n \nReservations are required. We have to know how many are coming so we bring enough materials and have an assistant tester if there are more than five test takers. If you are definitely able to make the test on March 1st\, please contact the testing coordinator as soon as possible. Your e-mail will be your confirmation.

The purpose of this meeting is to create an ongoing program within the gifted/talented children groups. This could range from getting the young ones together to socialize to having special events for young people to serving as a resource for sharing information on the needs of the gifted/talented and maximizing such children's talents/gifts. Children do not have to be members to participate in any Gifted Children's program\, but a parent or grandparent must be in Mensa.\n\nLorna Stein\, the Gifted Children Coordinator for our sister group in Tulsa\, has graciously donated her time and talent to arranging this program\, finding what our focus might be\, what age groups might be best served\, what topics would be of interest to the children and/or the parents.

His colorful career includes being the lead investigator on the only long-term \"sting operation\" in the Northwest Region in Woodward\, Oklahoma.

Ever been in the new library? Seen the lobby of the Skirvin? Found the 'cows'? Wondered about the art museum? And of course we'll find someplace for lunch. Sightsee in your own city. Be your own guest with first-time hostess Beth Bishop. Start Memorial Day weekend with a memorable event.
