Greetings, fellow chess players of Connecticut and beyond!

 

On May 14 at 8:00 p.m., the New Britain Chess Club appeared on the "Inside-Out" segment of Connecticut Public Television's "All Things Connecticut", a new series hosted by Diane Smith. The NBCC's appearance on local television makes this by far the greatest moment in our club's sixty-plus year history. I truly want to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to those individuals who volunteered to be interviewed - Treasurer Andris Strazdins, David Aldi and USCF National Master Ted McHugh. During our five minute segment, the producer, Eric Clemons, captured the heart and soul of our club with many excellent photos. My personal favorite was the excitement captured on the faces of Expert Derek Meredith and Danny Pascetta, our club's youngest member, during their Blitz game.

 

An opportunity for the NBCC to receive this outstanding publicity could never have happened if it was not for the efforts of Rob Roy. The officers of our club plan to do something very special for Rob for making this happen.

 

I am forwarding you a message that was sent to Rob from Jerry Franklin, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network. If you have seen the NBCC's segment on CPTV, Mr. Franklin explains how you can do so.

 

To all members, thank you for your continued support. Excellent job, guys! You make us Connecticut chess proud!

 

Best regards,

 

Bob Kozlowski
