Bluegrass Mensa serves Lexington, Frankfort, and eastern Kentucky, and is in Mensa Region 3. Our bylaws were last revised in 2005.

We try to have three Bluegrass Mensa get-togethers per month. Our usual schedule is:

• Games Night on the third or second Saturday of each month.
• Dine-Around Dinner on the second or third Thursday of each month.
• Monthly party on the last Saturday of each month.
