From Mensagenda - July 2010

GIFTED CHILDREN

Teresa Manzella

On Sunday, July 25, from roughly noon to 5 p.m., we'll hold the Fifth Annual Joint Mensa/MCGT Summer Picnic. All the usual trappings will be included!

We have a new location for this year to accommodate our expanding numbers of attendees. We'll be at the Jensen Lake Picnic Shelter at Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Here is a link to detailed info on the park: http://www.co.dakota.mn.us/LeisureRecreation/CountyParks/Locations/LebanonHills/JensenShelter.htm.

As has been the case in the past, burgers (meat and veggie), hot dogs, buns, condiments and paper products will be provided by Mensa and MCGT. We ask families to bring a salad, munchies or dessert to share, as well as their own beverages. Depending on how many sign up, you may get a suggestion to bring a lawn chair or two as well. We'll also have books to give away (and maybe some other goodies!).

This event is a family event, and parents are expected to supervise their children during the picnic. We hope to have some activities to engage the kids, but the planners are not responsible for the behavior of children other than our own. This information is included because of past inquiries about whether parents needed to keep tabs on their kids.

Emails regarding this event will start appearing in your inbox very soon. Please be sure to respond as early as possible to assist us in planning. Also, we can use help in making this event happen. Please contact Teresa to communicate your desire to help. Because of the scope of the picnic, it will be our only Young Mensan event for July.
