Most Educational — "Emphasis on science throughout, from feature
articles through factoid fillers, all of it interesting."

on those familiar Nutrition Facts, it gives new meaning to Table of
Contents."
MIND, Central Indiana Mensa George Dunn George Dunn -
"Literary Facts"

more personal and appealing to the reader."

Special Mention Awards

Newsletter Cover Postcards — "A very novel and fun idea...the artwork
was neat..."; "
A great way to get enjoyment out of the hard work that
goes into creating the newsletter covers"; "
Very Internet."
Cleveland Area Mensa    
Splash Page Featuring a Solar System o' Planets — "First impressions
are important, and this site makes a stunning one with the planets.

Very striking, intriguing first impression, a fancy graphic with
animation that doesn't take forever to load."
Columbus Area Mensa David Smith  
Most Information About Mensa — "Beautifully organized and up-to-
date with national and international by-laws, election results,
great PRP site..."
Mensa of Eastern North Carolina Amy White  
Pensapieces Game — "This online game adds a new piece every few
days to a picture of a local landmark, until the picture is revealed or
someone guesses what the landmark is"; I
like the way this
encourages members to participate...excellent use of the Internet...
may draw in members who don't attend activities."
Northwest Florida Mensa Jim Fitzgerald  
Deep Thoughts, by Jerry Ghigliotti — "Incredible amount of work
and it gets members involved. Questions on a wide variety of
topics, members contribute answers everyone else can read.";
"
...random and interesting topics..."; "Perfectly representative
of how, given ten Mensans, you'll get 11 opinions."; "
I love the
insight into how other Mensans think and feel about everything
from social issues to kissing techniques."
San Francisco Regional Mensa Peter Midnight
