May Biggest Little Reno Gathering Update

Northern Nevada Mensa http://northernnevada.us.mensa.org/index.html

Come Play with US! Enjoy our Western Hospitality as you see the sights and take the tours to Lake Tahoe and Virginia City. Did somebody say Brothel Tour?

You will experience the Wild West as it meets the Wild East as Fortunate Eagle opens our Gathering with Sacred Smoke and later Asha Belly Dancers educate and entertain us.

Feel the Burn as Burning Man comes to life before your eyes in a fantastic slide show and bid for the awesome one-of-a-kind poster immediately afterwards.

Sherry Boschert will inform us about electric cars and plug-in hybrids, while Kit Cassingham teaches us about Traveling Green.

The Ancient Ones will talk to us from thousands of years ago through rock art while modern Tibetans are shown in very recent photographs.

We have experts in using Biofeedback to help us and a Buddhist Spiritual Guide to teach us to use inner peace to restore our focus.

You can listen to Joseph Giampapa, a nationally known motivational speaker tell you how to improve your future, and try to grasp all that Doris Dwyer will tell us about Margaret Breen’s struggle to save her family in the famous Donner Party Incident. Dr Dwyer will be in character and period costume.

Being Mensans we never run from tough issues and I have planned two speakers who will tell you about difficulties we humans can face.

Donna Hill will inform us about the plight and struggles of Canadian Aboriginal Women who face life with HIV and what is being done to help them.

Todd Jacobs will tell us, as only he could, about being an adult with Autism and how he trained his own service dog to help him cope with his Asperger’s Syndrome.

Davidson Academy will join us to teach us what is being done for the seriously gifted and Hans Frischeisen will show us where to bicycle when school’s out.

For the willing and curious we have a first rate Pub Crawl set up to lead you through the inner heart of the Biggest Little City like no tourist will ever see.

For those with gaming in mind, we have an excellent game room of the traditional kind planned, as well as some professional gambling instruction, a Texas Hold’em Tutorial and Tournament, and more casino action than you can possibly play in three days in the Silver Legacy Resort Casino.
