Summer Chess Events Abound!
The Madison City Chess League is excited to return to over-the-board chess this summer and resume its traditional activities. The kids are ready, and we welcome students in grades K-12 to join us for a full summer schedule of events.
Monday Night Chess Returns at Madison Library
When: Mondays at 6:00-7:30 p.m. beginning June 7th
Where: Madison Library, 142 Plaza Blvd, Madison, AL 35758
Who: Kids K-12th grade who know how to play chess are welcome. (If your child wants to learn to play chess, consider registering for Learn to Play Chess camp at Rainbow Elementary July 19-23).
