Calendar

  There was a misprint in the June ToteMs (apparently the gremlins have acquired stealth technology): the DINING OUT SIG will not be on Tuesday, June 2nd as originally reported. See June 22nd for the correct details, and come help Mary celebrate her birthday!

  Come join the high (or low) rollers at the MENSA POKER NIGHT. See June 12th for details.

  The good news: despite a last-minute cancellation, we do have a speaker for the June MONTHLY GATHERING. The better news: she's bringing pastry! See Monthly Gathering Information for details.

  The SOUTH END GAMES NIGHT returns to an old haunt. See June 27th for details.

  Because of extenuating circumstances, the PORT TOWNSEND LUNCH BUNCH is on hiatus in June. Look for it to return later.

MENSA TEST. There will be no Mensa test this month. If you know someone who would like to take the test, please have them contact the proctor coordinator (testing%westernwashington.us.mensa.org – see Email) to make arrangements.

BUS ROUTE INFORMATION. To find out detailed route and time information in King County, contact Metro Rider Information at 206-553-3000 or log on to Metro Online. If route information is provided for a specific event, it will be included here.

MWW events are organized by members like you. If you don’t see an event that interests you, start one! Just check the monthly calendar for a good date, then send event information to the Editor (totemseditor%gmail.com – see Email) by the 10th of the month prior to the event. It’s that simple!

Long trains that roll endlessly by while the highway crossing bell peals for what seems like forever and several days. But, we're not container truck drivers waiting at Royal Brougham Way. We're rail buffs for whom the names on the train evoke memories and dreams of faraway places. Live the romance, vicariously if need be. At Joe's, near Carnation.
