Tori also happens to be from North Augusta!

I happened to meet them if front of a store this weekend. they were promoting Chess, and raising funds for her trip.
I find it disheartening that Tori’s accomplishment is not better known.. A champion from North Augusta should be noticed!!

Congratulations Tori, and good luck!

To contribute to Whatley’s travel and lodging expenses for the tournament, you may send a check payable to: Merriwether Mavericks Scholastic Chess Club c/o Regions Bank, 432 West Ave., North Augusta, SC 29841. Contact David Whatley at (803) 442-9060 or whatleydavid@bellsouth.net

We raised 119 dollars! All of which will go to teachers in the area.

It was a wonderful day, with perfect weather. Unfortunately, I was so busy I did not get any pictures! If anyone else has any, I would like one…

THANKS Michelle! Looking forward to working with you next year.
