Description

Like playing chess?

As part of our mission to activate public spaces downtown, we are looking for individuals who would like to donate their time to play chess at beautiful St. Joseph's Park. We will set you up with a table and chess board (if needed). You just take on anyone who wishes to play!

This initiative is a way to bring community together and engage with others, while energizing a park with activity and fun. Young, old or in-between are invited to participate. You pick the day and the time... even an hour is welcome, but 2-4 hours is preferred.

No special chess talent is needed... as long as you know the basic rules you're good to go!

Questions? Call or text Mike at 585-370-5919 or mike@downtownrocs.org
