Chess Communité

I'm so sad to report that as we get ready to make a push for 3-4 new tables, the park at Spain and St. Claude has been vandalized, with Jon Guillaume's table sadly having been completely destroyed. We were planning on installing three more tables in that park to create a 5 table chess park - first of it's kind - in the city. We'll only be installing tables into NORDC approved parks from here on out :(

Friends and Supporters: We Need Your Help! A gracious supporter of Chess Communite wants to donate a work van to us. The issue is that we need a Non-Profit to be our fiscal sponsor so that the donor can get tax credit for donating the vehicle. If we're not able to come up with this, the van will be donated to some other organization with non-profit status.
FYI: WE DO NOT PROFIT FROM THIS WORK. OUR WORK IS 100% VOLUNTEER. PLEASE HELP US FIND A WILLING SPONSOR.
