"Hi Doug,

Thank you for responding to my email. I am sorry to hear that a sign on the door has kept you from enjoying fellowship with other Mensans. We have a lot to offer our Members, including, but not limited to, a number of special interest groups as well as our Online Community. We also have various gatherings through out the year. By the way, the above mentioned sign was removed years ago. So, I hope that you will reinstate your membership and participate in activities. http://www.us.mensa.org/renew" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very best wishes to you,
Rosa"


Is there a forum member in the Arlington area who can go by the office and verify? The address is : American Mensa, Ltd., 1229 Corporate Drive West, Arlington, TX 76006-6103

Thanks

Actually, this was said by my first CHL instructor, back in 1990 something.

What is difference between the two procedures?

That's just funny!
I do hope you get a good response from them.

I don't know if you have to be a member to be an employee, but whomever made the decision to post the premise 30.06 is one dumb.... um... individual...

Recent correspondence with American Mensa follows. I encourage others to write to them as well, e-mail address is in body of e-mail.


"Your headquarters building is posted with a 30.06, Holders of Texas CHLs may not carry here, sign. I had thought you folks were smarter than that.

That sign says, in effect, that you do not trust Texas Citizens who have undergone a more thorough background check than a DPS Trooper has, have been trained in the laws of the state governing the use of force, have been trained in non-violent conflict resolution and have demonstrated that they are proficient in the safe carry and use of a firearm, to carry a firearm within your premise.

I do not give my money to people or organizations who have explicitly stated that I cannot be trusted to act responsibly.

Please let me know when you have removed the sign and I, and many other CHL holding Texans, will be happy to join or re-join your organization."

Hi, Douglas,

I am writing you today because I noticed your American Mensa membership lapsed, and I wanted to check in with you to see if there was a problem with your membership that I could assist you with.

Of course, if there was no problem and we've just lost touch, you're welcome to renew online at http://www.us.mensa.org/renew?ID=" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or by calling 888/294-8035 ext. 199. Your membership will extend through March 31, 2012, when you renew today.

We would love to have you back as a member.

Best regards,
Rosa
