By tapping/clicking on any of the menu items on the left, you can access all
the information that is of particular interest to Chicago Area Mensa
members. Most of the information is publicly viewable, but not
personal information, such as phone numbers and addresses, which
require you to log in using your American Mensa e‑mail address and password. Official documents are also restricted to members only.
In the public section, you’ll find information about
joining Mensa, Chicago Area
Mensa officers past and present,
and Service Awards. Our activities, including our
regional gathering — HalloweeM — and Monthly Gathering,
are also listed as well as
photos, links to resources related to intellectual giftedness, puzzles, recipes, and more.

Newsletter: ChiMe: Current and past PDF versions of

And since the digital version is available on our website, if you’re interested
in going "green," there are instructions on how to go paperless. If
you’d like to submit an article or material to be published in ChiMe,
please view the Submission Guidelines.
We’d love to hear from you.
If you haven't gone paperless,
our circulations manager is interested in seeing how long it takes
before members receive their issue of ChiMe. Members can
enter the date they got it,
especially if it’s late.
