Yesterday, at Brookbanks, 28 people came to play chess. I am astounded every week of how there are so many kids coming in eager to play chess. Some even helped us set up, and clean up, which was great to see.
This week, there were five volunteers, Xiaohan, Tony, Yuanling, Kevin, and myself, so the program ran pretty smoothly. There was a tie in two sections, so several kids had the opportunity to play a tiebreaker with a chess clock (most for the first time) and they seemed to enjoy it.
The third library should hopefully open soon, but I'm still waiting for Northern District to get back to me. If Northern District doesn't work out, we would try to open one at either Deer Park Library, or Forest Hill.
