• 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! {Posted 6/9/2010.}

• Chess Coach wanted for ICS in Kirkland – Iza Turski is a parent of a student at International Community School (ICS) in Kirkland who is volunteering as the Organizer for Chess Club at ICS. Iza is very much interested in finding out if any chess coach can teach at ICS on Mon after school from 2:30PM and what fees would be charged. Currently, around 5 to 10 students attend the chess club each week and around 6 students participate in the Kingco chess league tournaments. Iza will then approach ICS PTSA and/or parents to get the necessary funding.   Contact: Iza turski@msn.com or Chary charygo@microsoft.com. {Posted 1/2/2011.}
