Oregon Regional Gathering: Back To Nature

April 26-28 at the Sheraton-Portland Airport.

Registration information as well as updates and hotel layout can be found at our website: www.oregon.us.mensa.org. Diane Awalt (dlawalt@yahoo.com) is coordinating car pooling and room sharing to help defray traveling expenses.

The dry stuff: There’s still time to register for the RG and get a price break. The Sheraton’s group rate price break is good only until the 27th of March - not April but March. This month. Contact them directly at (503)249-7638.

The good stuff: Programs for the “Back to Nature” RG are loosely organized along 3 themes: Sexuality/Social Skills, Science/Technology, and Natural Science.

If terrestrial nature seems like too small a pond for you to explore, then cast your eye skyward with our two programs on space exploration. Members of the local space exploration community, Dareth Murray and Bob McGown, will co-present a program on OregonTeamSETI and the Argus Radio Telescope Project.

And the fun stuff for a good cause: The auctions!  Consider the silent book auction to be a book swap with a commission. Get rid of your tired reading material for some fresh goodies - for a small fee.
