Southern State Grade Level Chess Tournament
Please join us as we salute our Veteran's at this Chess Tournament on Veteran's Day. We encourage everyone to wear colors symbolic to our veteran's: Red, White, and Blue!
We ask that if anyone has a family member who is/was a veteran, to email us a picture and information of their service at the OCBChess@gmail.com so that we can prepare a presentation of our Veterans. We will share this during the Chess Tournament, Facebook, and here on our website. Thank you in advance!
