Columbus Area Mensa

August 2008 Calendar

Our August Monthly Gathering and Can We Talk? are getting together for Take Me Out to the Ballgame! Gather with us for a baseball game Thursday, August 21st at Cooper Stadium to watch the Columbus Clippers battle the Richmond Braves. This is the last year for Cooper Stadium, as the Clippers will be moving to a brand new stadium for 2009. We’ve reserved a skybox for the game and have up to 30 tickets available. Tickets are $15 for Mensa members and their guests. $10 for new Mensa members (since February). Make your checks out to Columbus Area Mensa and mail them to Betsy Mccall or deliver them to her at the RG or Can We Talk? Prior to the deadline. All reservations must be made before August 15th so we can return any unused tickets. Meet at the stadium at 6:30 p.m. for the 7:05 game. For those of you not going to the game, someone will be at the usual CWT spot to keep you company :)
