Here's a flyer you can tack up on the fridge. And a hat tip to NM Jeremy Kane, team’s captain and also the new Ray School chess coach, for sending me the information.

Thanks for the heads-up, Tom!
And you know, I never noticed that we had all those tropical cycads growing on the quad like in your photo...
Yeah, what's with the palm trees in Hutch quad? Looks like Oak Street Beach in July.
Are you playing on Saturday, Leon?
