Welcome to Maryland Mensa! We welcome your suggestions on what you’d like to see on the website–please pass them to David Hubbard.
Delaware Beach Delight – This event is now over. Members from Delaware Mensa and Maryland Mensa all had a good time.
On May 30, 2026 we had an outdoor visit to Pickering Beach on Delaware Bay in hopes of viewing spawning horseshoe crabs and the red knots and other birds that feed on the crab eggs. We had an expert biologist as a guide. The horseshoe crabs were reported at high tides in the evening but were not there for us when we went to the morning high tide.
We had a great visit to the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and a very nice outdoor lunch at a restaurant on a lake in Milford. We visited the DuPont Nature Center where we saw a slew of shore birds including red knots feasting on the sand. The Nature Center also had a museum featuring exhibits on tidal marshes.
Outside of the DuPont Nature Center.
We also had a good time playing board games afterwards.
There’s a good chance we will go back next year and visit during the evening high tide.

LocSec Column for Mid July, 2026 Electronic Newsletter:
Greetings Maryland Mensa! I am the newly elected LocSec. I would like to introduce myself in this initial column and reflect on Mensa.
My name is David Hubbard and for the most part, I have an academic background, enjoy good conversation and company, board games, jigsaw puzzles, hikes and going for walks whenever I can.I generally have worked in the background most of my life. However, I see that I’m in the foreground now.
A primary reason Mensa exists, I feel, is to provide a place for gifted and intelligent people to come together and to provide a place where they can be understood and heard. Many studies and presentations have pointed out how gifted people have different needs and, for many people, they haven’t gotten met.
One presentation compared the difference between people above and below a cutoff as the difference between steam and water. It wasn’t just a higher temperature, but something qualitatively different with its whole own different set of needs.
Mensans are looking for different things. They may sometimes be looking for stimulating conversation or deep discussion and at other times may be looking to just relax with other Mensans after a day at work.
I hope Maryland Mensa can provide activities and events that address a variety and range of these needs.
Let me know any thoughts on what you would like to see Maryland Mensa be or do.
