Introductory Meeting Notes

We had a great introductory meeting on Friday. We have more than 30 kids signed up for chess club and received lots of volunteer interest. Thanks!

Below is an a handout that was passed out in case you weren't able to be there. Expect an email soon with updates on purchasing chess sets and asking for volunteers to sign up for specific practice days.

THANKS for everyone's support and work.

Kickoff Meeting - 12/11 - 3:00-3:30 - Burroughs

I just asked that the following be added to the Burroughs Bulletin. Please spread the word!

Burroughs Chess Club
We’re starting up a Burroughs Chess Club! The goal is to get as many kids to try chess as possible and help them compete in city and state chess tournaments. Here’s the details:

- Open to all Burroughs students and all skill levels.
- Nine practices on Fridays from 3:00 to 4:30 PM, starting 1/8 in Burroughs cafeteria.
- Students can also attend three tournaments on 2/13, 2/20 and 3/6.
We will have a meeting for interested parents and students on Friday, 12/11 in the Burroughs auditorium at 3:00. Or you can sign up for more information at BurroughsChess.Blogspot.com.

I anticipate this being an introduction to our plan for this upcoming year, while getting lots of feedback from other interested parents and talking through some specifics. I hope you can all make it.

Thanks,
John Bonnes
