Chess Club Sept 19

We had 20 students turn out for the first day of chess club. There are 15 others interested who were not able to be there for our first meeting. That makes 35 if everyone shows up next week  There are only 24 stools, but table space enough for 48. I will order a few more chess sets on Friday. If you would like to order a set of your own, call Mr. Heinemann on Thursday at 651-451-8421. Nice sets like the ones we use - board, pieces with extra queens and vinyl bag for pieces - only $10 with my quantity discount!

PARENTS
We have some good players and will no doubt develop a few more this year. We have a chance to raise some money for the chess club in order to help finance a trip to Nashville, TN for the national championships on April 5-7. On March 23-24 the School Chess Association is holding the statewide chess championships at Minnehaha Academy High School North Campus. We have been asked if we'd like to sell concessions there. Since there are about 400-500 kids and their families, it usually nets several thousand dollars which would go a long way toward defraying any costs. But we'll need parents to purchase the food, sell it, and cook the hotdogs. We usually order lots of pizzas, then sell them for $2 a slice, hot dogs, chips, fruit, pop, candy, etc. Left over candy and pop is typically sold to the group running concessions at the next tournament. If interested in any capacity contact Bill Heinemann.
