Newcomers Night at the Van Dyck Restaurant and Brewpub, 237 Union St., Schenectady.    Members (new & old) and their guests are invited to meet us at 6:00 pm to enjoy the Van Dyck's excellent menu and drinks.  Ask the hostess for the Mensa table or look for the person who most closely resembles Albert Einstein  (i.e., Harry).  They have a parking lot on the corner of Union and Erie Blvd. in downtown Schenectady.  Meals run $10 - $25 and this is NOT in a non-smoking environment.  Their web site is www.thevandyck.com.  Harry Ringermacher hosts this event.  Contact him at 518/895-2513 or ringerha@crd.ge.com for information.  The Van Dyck is an interesting place...if you have not been there, it is worth the trip to experience it.
