OUR MISSION 

Establish and grow the Veteran Team Chess League

.

                                     The objectives of starting the Veteran division are to

   

                            *Bring veterans together in a positive, socially enriching atmosphere

 

                                                   

                            *Reward veterans with prizes of a life-enriching nature

 

                                                   

                            *Create a way for the public to show their appreciation by providing the prizes

 

                                                   

                            *Establish interdivisional tournaments with the other 3 divisions

 

                                               

                            *Target homeless veterans and let them easily earn prizes of a "getting back on their feet" nature,

                             giving the person the dignity of winning them instead of taking a handout.

                              6-month TARC passes

                              A welcome task will be to explore the possibilities. 

                             Anonymity is important here, no one needs to be known as homeless... 

 

                             The game will also be a very good way to welcome veterans from active duty.

                             The weekly gatherings will be a treasure trove of support from those that understand.

                            They will win prizes of a "getting settled in" manner:
