This year our funds are running VERY low! We will need to pay the insurance soon and the money has to come from the members or donations. If the Chess Club does not pay the insurance ($1,000,000 liability) to the City the oldest chess club in the nation in the same location will close it’s doors forever. The city of St. Petersburg wants to spend money on a restaurant and bar in a location that suggests that it will fail in a year. We need your help, PLEASE!
