My name is Shelli (of Dayton, WA) and I
work for a foreign exchange program which brings students from around the
world to study here for a high school year. We currently have students who
love the game of chess and who would like to be with a family who shares
the same joy of the game. The students all speak English, have their own
medical and spending money, and range from 15-18 in age. The host families
agree to give them their own bed, three meals a day and treat them like
one of their own. If you or someone you know might be interested please
contact me either by email,
shelli@pieusa.org, or call toll free 1-866-360-0598. Thank you!

Chess Program and Instructor Wanted - Hello, my name is Les Starkey. I
am with a company in Redmond Ridge community called Positive ALLY. We are an after-school
academy focusing on academic, sports and extra-curricular activities with children between the
ages of 5 and 11. Currently we are looking for a partner to join our dynamic academy. Based on
surveys of the kids and parents ... there is a strong want for a chess program. We would like
someone who: 1. Would like to teach chess to our kids at two of our locations twice a week,
and 2. Would be interested in leasing space from us for the evenings and/or weekends for
continuing chess training with our kids as well as other kids in the community. We have a very
affluent IT community in Redmond Ridge and the household income is around 150K per household.
The parents in our community also are heavily interested in giving their kids the best
opportunity for learning and growing and this is one of the reasons we've located first in
this area. In 2013 we will be opening two more facilities in Sammamish and Issaquah Highlands
and those facilities also will need chess training in the curriculum. Currently we have
professionals come in and train our kids in gymnastics, soccer, running, fitness, robotics,
art, music and more. We want to add chess to our line-up. If you or someone you know has an
ability and interest in teaching kids chess and would like to branch out and start a
profitable program on the Eastside please contact me. My phone number is below - and even
though it is an out-of-state number, I do live locally, in Bellevue. Referrals would be
welcome. Our rates for space rental are $25.00 per hour. We do have some ability to negotiate
on terms as well. If you wish to find out more about us our website is
positiveally.org. Best, Les Starkey, Senior Manager,
Positive Ally, 22330 NE Marketplace Dr #121, Redmond, WA 98053. Cell: (727) 773-6375 {Posted
