This was another one of my babies. I remember last year, a chess company advertised a chess club at the school for a whopping $90 per kid! Howie and Cameron both wanted to participate, but it was way too much money for us. I decided that I would do something about it this year. After coercing one of my favorite teachers to sponsor the club, we were able to offer a chess club of our own to the students for FREE! We had 25 kids come every Wednesday for 2 months. It was really rewarding to watch these kids have such a fun time playing chess together. Well worth the time. I am grateful for the volunteers (mostly my own family) who taught kids how to play and offered to play with anyone who needed a partner.
