InforMensa
        Best Tribute to a Mensa Friend
Gulf Coast MEnsa, Pat Spence, Editor
Remembering Bill, by Sam Phillips Beckerman.

        A beautiful, moving tribute to a man who was obviously very special to not only the writer, but apparently to his whole Mensa family.

M-Ark
        Most Educational
Mensa Arkansas, Duke Heath, Editor

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

MIND
        Most Unusual Details About Newsletter Content
Central Indiana Mensa, George Dunn, Editor
Literary Facts, George Dunn

        A clever takeoff on those familiar Nutrition Facts, it gives new meaning to Table of Contents.

The Oracle
        Best Contributor Credits
Orange County Mensa, Linda A. Kapiloff, Editor

        A clever way to give credit to contributors by connecting the faces to the names, while making their contributions more personal and appealing to the reader.

Palm-Mensa
        Most Tree-, Time-, and-Postage-Saving Newsletter
Palm Beach County Mensa, Glen Moulder, Editor
