A huge thank you to everyone who attended the May 19th Intro to Mensa’s Region 8 Gifted Youth Program event on Zoom. Out of 29 who registered, 18 attended. There was a lot of interest in having a quarterly get-together and I’ll touch base with you again on the next date.
Event Highlights
- Tour through the Region 8 GYC website: https://region8gyc.com/
- Pointed out the Parents Corner which includes Safety Guidelines, GY Event Guidelines, and Virtual Event Guidelines. I strongly encourage you to review those guidelines so that you can rest assured that your child(ren) are in safe hands.
- Bringing non-Mensa siblings in addition to your GY to events is okay.
- Facebook groups for more conection and resource sharing:
- SFRM GY Parents: facebook.com/groups/parentssfrmgyms
- For GY parents in other local groups: facebook.com/groups/MensaBrightKids/ run by American Mensa for Mensan and non-Mensan
- Shared resource: college programs for GY hoagiesgifted.org/early_college.htm

Thanks for attending and I’m looking forward to our next event ~July/August to prepare for the next school year.
