A few of us are working to bring an organized chess environment to NE Mississippi. We are hammering out some organizational checklist items, as well as plodding through some necessary logistics. Hopefully, we'll be ready soon.
The Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Tupelo is working to organize itself as a non-profit organization, so that it may more effectively implement its educational mission of elevating the awareness of chess in our local community. Chess is a wonderful educational compliment that can help reinforce in a conscientious player important life lessons including problem solving, critical thinking, fellowship, courtesy in play, ethical sportsmanship, patience, composure and action-oriented goal setting. Plus, chess is darn good fun!
The mission of the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Tupelo will be to function as an educational organization, that will seek to develop and maintain formal programs of instruction to facilitate the learning of the game of chess and to promote and support these educational programs throughout the community, increasing the awareness of the educational and of the mindful values of the game of chess.
