Auburn Meet and Chat

Let's get something going for Mensans in Eastern Placer, El Dorado and/ or Nevada counties. Starbucks at 1790 Auburn Ravine Road, Auburn. It is just off Hwy 80 at Foresthill exit. If driving west, take Foresthill exit to R, follow Auburn Ravine Road around a curve, Starbucks on L in yellow clapboard and brick building. If driving east, Foresthill exit, turn L across freeway, then left at 2nd traffic light.

I will arrive about 11:15 and stay until at least noon. Will wear a blue t-shirt with owls, and a Mensa cap. If this time and place does not work well for you, call or message me (Rita) at 916-221-1354 with suggestions. I am open to an evening meeting, but finding inexpensive locations can be a problem. Hope to see some folks who never make to Sacramento functions since I now live in Colfax.
