Beginning on February 5th (tentatively) I'll be providing some introductory chess lessons through the children's section of the Georgetown Library each Friday from 4-5 pm. The Library has a list of interested parents and children and perhaps that will result in some additional publicity and memberships for the club.

Plenty of good local tournaments coming up including the Matthews Open this Saturday, Jan 16th. The Austin Kids Open next Saturday, Jan 23rd and the Bushy Creek Open in Round Rock on January 30th. Click the Austin Chess Tournaments link the your right for more details.
