At the local group level, activities vary from group to group and are planned on a regular basis. An activity might be a game night, social or guest speaker. A local group may host a regional gathering, where activities include competitions, speakers, dances and much more. These events extend an entire weekend. Each year, there are over 40 regional gatherings as well as the national Annual Gathering.
Local groups publish monthly newsletters.
Each newsletter varies from group to group. In Mensa, you are not restricted to a single interest. If your special interest is not there, find someone with a similar interest and start your own interest group. Special interest groups are started and maintained by members who share a common interest. There are over 150 national special interest groups that range from Creative Mischief to Webheads to Bridge to Scuba.
