Mensa
Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other"s company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.
It doesn't mention how they got the name Mensa, so I'm not sure if it stands for anything, but it does mean table in Latin.
Abiton is going to Sydney.
Stay tuned for more on Shlichus from me . . .
