| Greater New York Mensa is planning field trips to Long Island and Westchester in the fall and we want your thoughts on what sort of destinations and kinds of activities you would be interested in doing on such an outing! It's going to take a lot of planning, which is why we're starting now. If you have any ideas or suggestions, or would like to offer assistance in any other way with this endeavor, please contact David Finegan, or Scott Duprey. |

The Annual Greater New York Mensa Holiday Party
Manhattan 2:00pm
At the Soldiers', Sailors', Marines', Coast Guard and Airmen's Club, 283 Lexington Avenue, between 36th and 37th Streets.
====
"It's beginning to look a lot like" that time of year when you get together with friends and family to eat, drink, be merry, exchange the warmth that good cheer brings and celebrate our hopes for peace on earth now and forever. Join us and have some food, a beverage or two, and a bunch of interesting conversations with some really cool people. We'll also be doing our annual Secret Santa Gift Swap, which works like this: if you'd like to receive a gift, bring a wrapped gift (valued at no more that $20 or so); the gift you bring will go in a bag along with gifts that others bring and the gifts are then redistributed. Pretty cool, huh?!
Admission to the GNYM Holiday Party is $5 for members, and $7.50 for guests of members and potential members. Be sure to bring your membership card if you have it! Contact scott.duprey@gnym.org or 212-964-5447 with any questions or for further info.

Crack the Case: GNYM spends the afternoon with Perfect Crime
Manhattan 2:00pm
=====
A special performance of the show PERFECT CRIME
Snapple Theater Center, 210 W. 50 Street (at Broadway), Manhattan
=====
A secluded mansion. A would-be murderess. The perfect crime. Margaret Brent is an accomplished Connecticut psychiatrist -- and potential cold-blooded killer. When her wealthy husband turns up dead, she gets caught in the middle of a terrifying game of cat and mouse with a deranged patient and the handsome but duplicitous investigator assigned to the case. Perfect Crime has been called "a phenomenon" by Fox 5 News and "a true New York mystery" by New York magazine. Fans of Law & Order, Agatha Christie and Alfred Hitchcock won't want to miss PERFECT CRIME -- the longest-running play in New York City history.
Tickets for Saturday's performance of PERFECT CRIME are available to members of Greater New York Mensa at a reduced price of $40! To purchase tickets, contact the box office at 212-921-7862. Be sure to mention that you're with Greater New York Mensa in order to receive the special ticket price!
UPDATE: Originally, the performance was to be followed by a Q & A session. Regrettably, the post-performance discussion has been cancelled. However, the discounted ticket price will still be honored, and Mensans will be welcome to stay afterwards for a drink in lieu of the originally scheduled post performance reception.
