Cedar Rapids Public Libary
Sendak Room
We will meet at the Cedar Rapids Public Library from 2 pm to 5 pm on these dates. We will start off with a group lesson at 2 pm after which we will do an organized chess activity and then finish up with some free time to just play chess. If you are on this email list as a scholastic player, then we hope to see you there. If you are one of our "adult" chess club members, then coming to watch and learn is great (just because it is "scholastic" doesn't mean we can't all learn together). But if you are interested in coming to help work one-on-one with our scholastic players, that would be fabulous!
FEBRUARY MEETING DATES: 2/5 & 2/19We are moving back to Sundays. We will meet on the first and third Sunday of the month, February 5 and February 19 in the Sendak Room.
MARCH MEETING DATES: 3/4 & 3/18.
The March 3rd meeting will be held in the Seuss Room, which is a couple store fronts down the hall from the library.
