Support the Chess Ninjas, 11/28

The PS 139 Chess Ninja's first fundraising event of the season at Barnes & Noble in Park Slope will take place Saturday, 11/28, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For anyone new to this: B&N will donate a portion of the sales for the day to the chess club. So take that day to purchase any books, board games, or CD's on your holiday shopping list. This is an easy way to support a great club that was hit hard by budget cuts.
