Only 34 days until AGOG.
Join your fellow Mensans on February 26th – 28th for fun and games.
Save the dates!!
Do you like games? Do you spend the entire WeeM weekend in the games
room? Would you like to do again? No, we're not asking you to wait
until October for WeeM.
Instead, we're saying you can do it again this February!!! Every winter, Chicago puts on AGOG —
A Gathering of Gamers (this year,
February 26th – 28th). It's a weekend-long gathering of
just games while socializing with fellow Mensans.
Public vs Members-Only Access
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.

We’d love to hear from you.
