Mensa members can also sign up for the CHICAGO AREA MENSA WEEM NOTIFY community (aka e‑mail list) to get e‑mail updates (no more than one a month, except during the 30 days prior to WeeM). CHICAGO AREA MENSA WEEM NOTIFY is a community in Mensa Connect. If you haven't used Mensa Connect, visit our Group E-Mails webpage to learn more about using it.
To join, visit Mensa Connect My Communities which gives you access to the Communities in Mensa Connect. Use the search input field at the top of Mensa Connect My Communities page and enter "WeeM" followed by tapping/clicking on the button. If you are a member, you'll see member to the left under CHICAGO AREA MENSA WEEM NOTIFY. Otherwise you’ll see a Join button on the right that enables you to do that.
If you are a member, to remove yourself from the community or to change your e-mail address/frequency just for this community, tap/click on the CHICAGO AREA MENSA WEEM NOTIFY community name, and then tap/click on the Settings button to the right of CHICAGO AREA MENSA WEEM NOTIFY. You’ll see the options shown in the image to the right where your e-mail address for this community will be displayed in the grayed-out area.
Note: Due to American Mensa restrictions, this list is limited to Mensa members only — CAM is investigating options for an e‑mail list that would work for everyone.
Join us at WeeM! There’s no RG like this!
Stimulate both your mind and senses.
Come to WeeM to have fun with over 500 fellow Mensans from all over the world and their
