This month we start with a Soiree being held at Leigh Butler’s home in Central Phoenix on December 1 at 7:30 PM.  She will be hosting the Soiree for Lynn Stinnett, a fellow Mensan who has been living out of the country for many years. Those who know Lynn will enjoy seeing her again. We want to thank Leigh for hosting this event. Please remember the “Owl” is $2 for members and $3 for guests. Please see her article on  page 7 in this issue.

The next party will be a Holiday Salon on December 15th held at the home of  Pat and Ray Edwards in Tempe, at 934 East Manhattan.   Since this is the ”Holiday Season” please dress up if you wish. There will be a “White Elephant Exchange”, so please feel  free to bring something that you no longer wish to own and wrap it up, bring it , and see what you will get in return!  You do not have to go out and buy something.  In the past, this has been much fun. In addition you are asked to bring a dish to share and BYOB. Soft drinks will be available.   As usual, guests are welcome, the OWL will be $2, guests $3, first time members and persons considering membership, need not contribute.
