<strong>May</strong> <strong>2010</strong> Calendar<br />
<strong>Mensa</strong> events are open to all <strong>Mensa</strong>ns, their spouses, and accompanied<br />
guests. A party at a private home is a private event, and who may or may not<br />
attend is at the complete discretion of the host. While kitty amounts are<br />
mandatory, hosts often spend far more than the specified amount. Donations<br />
in excess of the kitty amount will be appreciated.<br />
Please email your calendar event notices to calendar@tampa.us.mensa.org,<br />
or visit http://tampa.us.mensa.org/cal for complete instructions. To have<br />
event announcements sent directly for your email, sign up for the tbmgm<br />
group at Yahoo! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tbmgm/<br />
Your deadline for the following month’s calendar is the 5th of the preceding<br />
month. Hosts: Please remember to mention any special concerns about<br />
your location, such as limited access for the handicapped, smoking restrictions,<br />
or presence of pets.<br />
Guests: If you have special needs or restrictions, it is prudent to discuss<br />
them with your host before attending an event.<br />

<strong>May</strong> 8 8:30am Fossil Dig<br />
Location: Vulcan Phosphate Mines, Brooksville<br />
IMPORTANT: You MUST be on time. We will enter the mines at 9 am. Anyone<br />
not there at that time will not be allowed in. Child members, or member's<br />
children, must have a parent or legal guardian present to participate. I will<br />
have waiver forms for everyone to sign before we go in. To reach Vulcan, take<br />
I75 north to Exit 301, Brooksville/ Rt 98. Go ten miles to Brooksville and<br />
follow the signs for Rt. 98 north. Go another ten miles north of Brooksville<br />
on 98 and watch for the CEMEX/ Vulcan signs on the left side. Wait by the<br />
highway entrance. You will be driving in, so you will have access to any coolers<br />
you may bring. I would suggest bringing snacks and PLENTY of water. It<br />
gets hot, so dress appropriately. You might want to bring sunscreen. Please<br />
RSVP by email by the Friday before so I can have a good idea of how many<br />
are coming. I have scheduled this to coincide with the <strong>Tampa</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> Fossil<br />
