As of press time, we have over 60 people pre-registered for the Regional Gathering! Once again, if you intend to stay at the hotel, PLEASE make your reservations NOW, as walk-ins will likely pay a substantially higher rate than people with reservations under the Mensa name. That's the Days Inn Coliseum at 257-0801. What to expect? A well stocked, late-night hospitality suite, a lounge area where we will host such night club acts as "Leigh Hotz, The Wizard of Fun", with his lovely assistant, our very own Diana McClure, as well as Karaoke, hosted not ONE but TWO nights by Bruce Stiles! There is a games room hosted by Robert Andrews, complete with access to the web via Web TV. We have a full-time video room for those who long to kick back and enjoy a flick or two, as well as two meeting rooms featuring the stimulating programming you have come to expect from a Greater Phoenix Mensa RG. I will leave you with my hopes to see everyone there, and a sampling of what has already been scheduled, with much more to come!
Friday: Hospitality Warmup Party; Hot Sauce Tasting; Carnelli; Karaoke in The Lounge; Arizona Power Exchange
Saturday: Friends of Bill W.; Mel Anderson's Truth Machine; Investing Wisely; Foot Massage Therapy; Yoga; Rock Climbing Experiences; Liar's Club; Joke Off; Even More Karaoke in The Lounge!
Sunday: Friends of Bill W.; Poetry Reading; Keynote Speaker Richard Lederer; Pay-For Pizza
Monday: For you out-of-townees (and locals who have the day off), today would be a good day to sight see; the hotel has an extensive selection of brocures to help you schedule your excursion! ... plus as many surprise events as we can pull off!
