Birth of a
Group |
| Most of
the area encompassed by our local group used to be a part of
Delaware Valley Mensa. But as interest grew and more members got
involved, it was thought that we could probably generate enough
of both of these to support our own group. And so Lehigh Pocono
was born in June of 1987. We have the distinct honor of being
the first local group to have held a regional gathering before
becoming an official group!
Since our birth we have held six
gatherings (Pocono I - VI), have participated in the Mensa
Educational and Research Foundation’s scholarship program (and
given local scholarships) and helped out with the local PBS
telethons. We hold events every month, publish a monthly newsletter, and hold special events on occasion.
Check out our events calendar to see what’s happening this
month!
