Plans for Winter 2011
Sunday, November 21, 2010

Hi everyone! Megan, here. We had an officers' meeting today and thought you might like to know the 411. So here's the scoop on what we've got in mind for next quarter.

Weekly tournaments. Possibly with an entrance fee, to help with fund-raising. People could also submit their games for analysis, and then we could decide on the best game.

Fund-raising! Carolina and I both bake, and were thinking chess-themed bake sales with a chess cake, decorated brownies, and gingerbread pawns... Any other ideas?
Extra meetings that focus on game strategy, perhaps with stronger players helping novice players.
We're also probably going to have an info night within the first week or so of next quarter that will go into these things in greater depth.
Social events. Nothing formal, but maybe just days when we all go out for coffee/food or something, so new members have a chance to mingle with older members and everyone gets a chance to know each other. :o)

And on that note, please take the survey at http://aggiechess.blogspot.com/ for what days are good for you to meet for Winter 2011. We're leaning towards Friday, as it would probably be easier to reserve rooms/get people to come--but we want your input!! All it takes is one click of the mouse!

Some other things you might be interested in:

Sacramento Chess Club Team Championship. Go to uschess.org --> tournaments --> norcal
Hope you all had a good weekend! Here's a funny chess-related cartoon.

Megan Malloy, Secretary
