Members and Friends,
I am just starting out on Mail Chimp so bear with me as I create and issue our newsletter updates. I will be playing with photos and such and offering tournament information.

1. Firstly, we are now meeting on Wednesday nights at the Downtown YMCA at the usual time 6:00 PM to 9:00. I usually arrive a bit earlier so may take your chances on getting in some additional chess.
2. We have been holding our club three round/game 15 tournaments on a pretty regular basis and have had good attendance. Please arrive in plenty of time be to entered into the tournament and paired by 7:00 PM.
3. Thanks to Holly Livengood who has donated some handmade mugs as prizes for the club tournament. And thank to Jim Kade who given the club three chess clocks.
4. I have had opportunities to play several games with Phil Gardner at Morning Point on Shallowford Road. Anyone interested in playing chess with Phil may speak to me and I will give you some direction. I know that Phil enjoys his chess and misses the club.
5. I want to welcome Chad Meson and Alden Mucciarone to the club. Alden is our newest member in good standing.

All for now.

Malcolm Estrada
