Tonight we were packed with more new players of all ages. Bagel bounty came from YorgosBageldashery in Ghent section of Norfolk, VA. We have a new helper, Nicole Greiner, seen in this video handing out goldfish crackers and lemonade. Without her help I would have tanked this week. Much love to all our mentors and families. Special shout out to Dr. Arthur Bowman of Norfolk State University for being there to support, teach and play. www.NiceChess.net

Lamberts Point Community Center was full of surprises on this thundery, soaking night. Takes more than April showers to keep our players at home. Special thanks to Mentor Gerald Ronning who walked all the way from the senior home on 38th St. Good grief Gerald, wouldya please let me pick you up on these dreadful weather nights?
