Chess at the Park

We are going to give this park a try, I have played here several times before. There are other chess players that play here but they play almost strictly 5 minute blitz games. They only take up 2 sometimes 3 tables. There are about 8 to 12 tables tables at this park (I forgot exactly how many it's at least 8 but really I think it's 12) Either way we will play amongst our group with slower time controls (however if anyone wants to jump in with them at the 5 blitz games your more than welcome to) There is a 7-Eleven near by for drinks & snacks, and a Target a block away for the restroom. There are also a lot of restaurants near by (within a 7 block radius), a LOT of restaurants and food options, including food trucks, bakeries, cafes, pizza, a couple of bars here and there, just a lot of different food, drink and snack options. (you could go to that area every weekend for a year and never get board of it) I will proved 3 chess sets including clocks. I do ask that if you can to please bring a chess set, if you can't it's fine. You can take the E, F, R and M trains to "Forest Hills - 71 Ave" - "Continental Ave" The park is a block away from the train station.

Queer Book Club - Kin by Tayari Jones

Hey Everyone! **Welcome to Queer Book Club! We read books about, for and written by queer people! Follow us on Instagram @queer_book_club Our next meetup will be held on Tuesday September 22nd at Young Ethel’s in Park Slope BK This month we will be reading Kin by Tayari Jones ** Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood, but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s death, Vernice leaves Atlanta at eighteen for Spelman College, where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and marries into an affluent family. Annie, abandoned by her dissolute mother as a child, and fixated on the idea of finding her and filling the bottomless hole left by her absence, sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity, as well as love and adventure, and culminate in a battle for her life. A novel about mothers and daughters, about friendship and sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South, Kin is an exuberant, emotionally rich, unforgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in contemporary fiction. **At the end of the discussion we can vote on which book we read for next month so bring a queer suggestion. Make sure to support our amazing host bar, by buying drinks! They are so great to support us so we must do our part in return! We are a lovely accepting group of queers and allies, and all are welcome! Our book list is officially too long for meetup and will now live on this google doc!
