STM Groups (SIGs, STM²)

Our shared interest and outreach groups are where all the action takes place. Listed below are some of of the main ones. See your monthly newsletter or contact membership@southtexas.us.mensa.org for details.

SIGs
 
Important Issues, Dialog & Discussion
On the first Sunday of month at 1:00 pm (2:00 pm Apr-Sep). Chips and soft drinks provided. BYOB if desired; smoking outside only; opinionated host for those who like a good tussle.
Party on the Patio
PotP occurs every third Saturday, 5:00 pm at the park at 7530 Shady Hollow Ln. (west of Babcock & 1604) Come try it if you've never been. Come back if you have. There, you can share snacks, games, conversation, stories, try different beers, and generally have a good time. For new members, this is also the place to go to meet many of the folks who can't make the monthly gathering.
STM²
For the socially-minded, STM offers ways for you to get involved towards the good of others.
α Gifted & Talented
In addition to SIGs and games, we also have places for those who enjoy applying their energy to social issues. For those interested teaching tomorrow's leaders and scholars, the Gifted & Talented program is a fine place to start.
