Chess Club

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.
