Mr. Reese Meeting / The upcoming season!

Had a nice meeting with Greg Reese this morning.    Mr. Reese, as the kids know him, has done a lot to get chess going in Muskego.  He is the coach of both Bay Lane M.S. and Country Meadows Elementary.   I will be coaching Lake Denoon M.S. and Mill Valley Elementary.   Overflow kids from Muskego H.S. will come to LDMS for instruction, and we will begin a chess club there this year, with an eye on competitive chess for MHS starting in the 2010-2011 school year.   I am looking for coaching assistants this year!  So far, Dan Gomoll continues as assistant (I hope!   Dan?), and Peter Stevlingson has agreed also to help.  Hopefully a few more parents (Bob?   Rick?) can also kick in!
 
In the 2009-2010 school year, Muskego will host a few tournaments:
  • LDMS (Nov-Dec timeframe) - WSCA
  • Mill Valley (end of season- Mayish timeframe) - WSCA
  • Bay Lane (Jan-Feb timeframe) - WSCA
This is of course in addition to other Milwaukee area tournaments run by the WSCF, WCA/USCF and WSCA.   We look forward to a great year coming up for Muskego Chess!

I explain who he is in the article! Gregory Reese, Sr., the "father of Muskego Chess!"
