NOTE:   The information below is for the month of October.  Location will change after that.

Chess Club - Thursdays, October 1 and 15, 2:00-3:00 pm at the park.

Due to Covid-19, room availability and the number of participants are limited at the Salvation Army. So while the weather is nice, we plan to meet informally outdoors at Lemay Park, 236 Fannie Ave, Saint Louis, MO 63125.

Masks are optional.

Price is FREE!   Just let Judy know that you will be coming by emailing her below

Important:  Due to circumstances of being outside, it will be difficult to give instructions, so participants will need to already know how to play and will need to register once we switch to indoor times.

There will also be a participation waiver this year.

If you are interested in playing, please email [email protected] for more information.
