Palm Beach Area Mensa

Sunday, Mar. 10, 5:30pm: Second Sunday Dinner-- at Tim Finnegan's Irish Pub (https://timfinnegansirishpub.com/) in Delray Beach, 2885 S. Federal Highway, 561-330-3153. It's a little early for St. Patrick's Day, but I will be wearing green! Also note that Daylight Savings time begins on this day. Don't show up too early! Great Irish food and more -- Sausage Rolls, The Chippy (fries with assorted toppings), Irish Potato Soup, Beer Battered Fish Sandwich, Dublin Dip, Drunken Chicken flambéed with Irish whiskey, Corned Beef & Cabbage, Bangers and Mash, Shepherd's Pie -- you get the picture. RSVP to Elissa (elissa12@bellsouth.net) or on Meetup by Saturday, March 9.

Thursday, Mar. 14, 6pm: Virtual Happy Hour to Discuss Books. This fun hour is more literary society than a book club, or maybe it is both. We have been reading Boomtown by A. L. Carter and Keepers of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg. The former is about a complicated police captain, determined to root out the bad guys in a town that's appeared practically overnight -- the result of a new Nissan plant being constructed in a Rust Belt area. The second book finds a writer who inherits a remote estate on Narragansett Bay -- is it enchanted or is that a rumor? Join us to discuss these books or suggest books for our next foray. Meeting ID: 858 0295 0276, Passcode: happy (Zoom link). RSVP on Meetup or to Amy Shaughnessy at aesdth@yahoo.com or at 561-352-9245.

Saturday, Mar. 16, 2-4 pm: Youth Gathering -- see newsletter p. 5

Sunday, Mar. 24, 5pm: North County Gathering at Carmela's: A spring get-together for North County and South County Mensans at the delicious Carmela's Italian cuisine, 2311 SE Ocean Blvd • Stuart, FL • 34996. We haven't seen each other in quite some time so please save the date. RSVP on Meetup by Saturday, March 23. If you can't use Meetup, text me (Laura B) at 772 212 6268.
