Whew! The Directory is out, and everybody who didn’t check with American Mensa is discovering that their address is listed incorrectly ...
IMPORTANT!!! We will run an "errata" page in October. That gives you almost six weeks to get in any corrections directly to me, the Editor. I strongly recommend you use the Avalon Drive address, because Bruce only checks the P.O. Box mail occasionally. As I warned you, I took the listings directly from the June, 1997 membership roster from American Mensa. This is your last chance to change anything, add your e-mail address, etc.
Oooohhh, Hallowe’en is coming up next month! And your Calendar Goddess/Intrepid LocSec suggested we have a "Real Spooky Stories" theme for the October issue. If you have a spooky story that actually happened to you, send it in! (Please, none of those "urban legends.") For instance, wait until I tell you about attending a Bah’ai funeral ... If anyone has an idea for a theme issue, send it in. We’ll certainly consider it.
Our GPM just keeps getting more talented ... we are trying to get Susan Sackett (yes, THAT Susan Sackett, associated with "Star Trek"), and now a member of GPM, to write movie reviews. This should be a real treat for us all.
But don’t think you have to be of Susan’s calibre to write for MAAM. This is a newsletter, folks, which means it’s open to all. If you can write logical sentences without slandering somebody or sinking to the scatological, I want your submission. This year we’re going for Owl awards! Keep those cards and letters coming.
And remember, send in your spooky story! Until then, Thank Heavens for School! (Sorry, Barbara!)
