Sometimes, last-minute changes must be made to the Manasota Mensa calendar of events after the print-edition of The 4M has gone to press. This website calendar can be changed at a moment's notice. Be sure to check this website for the most up-to-date schedule of events.  

Hey gang, we're looking for a new calendar editor to set up our schedule of events each month, starting in April (May events). It's not too tough to do, and it can be a lot of fun! On a temporary basis, until we find a new calendar editor, please contact Nancy Heinrich at 941-373-0956 or flcyclist@gmail.com, if you'd like to contribute to the schedule. Thanks.
