Meetings will be held on Monday nights starting November 2nd, 2009 and going until Monday, December 14th, 2009. The location is Evaristus Hall, room 111, 6:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m.

Albert and Ken write: We hope to secure the same location in the new year, but we won't know if it's available to us until early January. Hope
to see everyone there Monday nights! If you plan to go, please let me know so we can plan for the amount of tables
we'll need. Please bring your own chess gear if you can.
