LET THE GAMES BEGIN: CHESS FOR YOU (D2U)
https://nextvillagesf.org/event/let-the-games-begin-chess-for-you-d2u/Chess is an activity that stimulates the brain, passes time, and can even be social (and distanced!), creating friendships even when not sitting across the table from each other. Distance between chess players is nothing new – in the last Century people played by mail!
Chess does not even require high tech knowledge (or even Zoom), but can be played at one’s leisure by email.
All it requires is a chess set.
Brent Leonard has offered to coach anyone at any level who wishes to learn this King of Games.
At the kickoff meeting, Brent will help match chess players by their level to play each other.
Not on Zoom? No problem. Brent will coordinate you prior to the 8/24 meeting to find out your skill level to match you with someone else at the meeting.
Once you are matched with a partner, you can coordinate directly with them to play.
We hope that someday we will be able to play face to face – and perhaps even have a tournament!
If you haven’t played chess before or could use some brushing up on rules and moves, visit https://www.chess.com/lessons for tips for beginners and advanced players.RSVP: - 25August 25, 2020
ARMCHAIR TRAVEL: INDEPENDENCE DAY IN BELIZE
https://nextvillagesf.org/event/armchair-travel-independence-day-in-belize/Armchair travel goes back in time to September 21, 1981 when one of the last colonies of the British empire, Belize, gained independence.
NEXT Village member (and 50 year San Francisco resident), Phil Williams was there. He will describe what impelled him to take a long weekend off work and jump on a plane to Belize City to witness the climax of an international crisis that involved the CIA, the Sandinistas and Guatemalan generals.
He will describe how his 3-day long adventure took him from the Mayan ruins at Altun Ha, to the bars of Cinderellatown to the governor’s mansion at midnight when the British flag was lowered for the last time.
Presenter: Phil Willams
