Here’s what it looks like.

10 days in Asia board game set

Make yourself free on 26 February and get a chance to play this game (and another called Forbidden Island). These are NOT your regular off-the-shelf board games. We’ve specially bought them from a board game specialty shop in KL for Mensa members to try them out.

Hi everyone,

We will be sprucing and painting our Mensa Penang office this 11 December (Sun). As you can see from these Facebook photos, we’ve cleaned up the office so now it’s time to paint it.

Please volunteer! Come help out and get to know the rest of us (most of the Committee will be there anyway).

Time: 1pm to 6pm
Date: 11 Dec (Sunday)
Venue: Mensa Penang Office – see map here.

You don’t need to bring anything. As we will be painting the office, don’t wear your best clothes. An old t-shirt and shorts will do. We’ll provide all the tools and paint.

We are now in the process of updating our Penang database. We realized we have many who are members of Mensa but due to old email addresses or change of email addresses, we are no longer reaching out to you.

If you are a Mensa member (with a membership that’s lapsed or if you forgot to renew) or even if you wish to check with us if your email address is still valid, please email us: info@mensapenang.org with your name, phone number and current email address.

With this new data, we can keep you informed of our activities.

If you know of friends or family members who are also Mensa members, please pass this message to them too.
