This is a listing of all SIGs and Services listed in the Mensa Bulletin. Some SIG or Service coordinators have asked that their name and address not be publicly disseminated in this listing. ======================================================================== SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ American Mensa, Ltd. encourages members to join together in pursuit of special interests and, to this end, acts as the facilitator and clearinghouse for SIG activities. Any Mensa member who wishes to establish a SIG may apply to the SIGs Officer that the SIG be included in the SIG list published semi-annually in the Mensa Bulletin. SIGs which fail to provide Mensa with brief semi-annual reports regarding SIG membership and activities are dropped from the list. Members are advised however, that Mensa is unable to guarantee the information it receives concerning SIGs and the SIGs are voluntary associations of Mensa members which operate independently of Mensa. Mensa does not exercise control over the finances or activities of SIGs and no SIG or SIG coordinator is authorized to bind Mensa or to act in any way on Mensa's behalf. For these reasons, Mensa is not responsible for actions taken by or on behalf of SIGs, nor for their financial liabilities. ¥ 2% FOR CHRIST SIG ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Study threats to Christianity; discuss ways to combat Satanism and anti- Christian ideals in society.
