MWM Annual Party - October 11, 2008
MWM turns 46 this year and we will celebrate at Metropolitan Washington Mensa's Gala Annual Anniversary Party and Fun Fest. MWM's largest Saturday night bash of the year (free to all MWM members, guests pay $5.00) will be held at the Friendship Heights Village Center, 4433 South Park Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 – a block north of the Friendship Heights Metro Station on the Red Line – just off Wisconsin Ave. Park in any of several parking lots on the east side of Wisconsin or on the streets immediately surrounding the Village Center. The party begins at 7:00 PM (not 8:00 PM as previously indicated) and will last until midnight. Light refresments include sandwich fixings, snacks, munchies, dessert, soft drinks, beer, and wine. The decoration theme is Halloween.

Septoberfest - September 13th in Leesburg
Chris and George (prominently pictured on the right) know that Oktoberfest runs from September 20th to October 4th this year, but since their party is one week earlier they insist on calling it "Septoberfest".
Over 20 Mensans and guests joined them in Leesburg for German food, Bavarian music and conversation with friends.
