BROOKLYN CHESS CHAMPIONS!
Join us in congratulating local Brooklyn IS 318, PS 139 & PS 31 chess teams! For those of us who don't avidly follow chess happenings, the NEW YORK STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2016 took place this past weekend. So proud to report that local Brooklyn IS 318 beat out the best private, charter and public schools in New York State (and beyond) to win the Junior High School Championship title! And huge kudoos to PS 139 and PS 31 for their respective trophy wins at State Championships and a NYC CIS tournament.
Next step for all these hard working, talented kids: NATIONALS in the Spring! Join us in supporting them. Join us at our upcoming Chess Fundraiser at STREB on Thursday, April 7th (
https://chess-at-streb-fundraiser.eventbrite.com). If you can't come to the STREB show, you can still help these incredible kids with a tax-deductible donation.

5th Annual McGOLRICK EGG HUNT
Saturday, March 26, 12-2 PM
McGolrick Park, Central Pavilion
Nassaw Ave/Russell St, Brooklyn
What amazing weather! Spring is almost here and our annual McGolrick Egg Hunt is around the corner! As with last year, we'll have thousands and thousands of eggs. The hunts will run as long as eggs last.
Families and kids will also get to meet the Easter Bunny and enjoy craft activities and face painting. Rock with DJ Natalie and Baby DJ School. Check out a beautiful plant sale by PS 31 PTA. Wear your colorful bonnets, pack a picnic lunch and join us to welcome Spring!
The McGolrick Egg Hunt is a delightful community effort with parents pitching in to hide the eggs and run the hunts. PS 31 PTA, Boy Scout Troop 26 and St. John's Lutheran Church are among the community groups joining us for a fun day in the park.
$15 child for the egg hunt ($20 at door), with certain other activities at extra cost. Buy your egg hunt tickets here:
https://mcgolrick-egg-hunt-2016.eventbrite.com. Avoid long lines & save! Proceeds will help send local youth to summer camp. Wonderful, right?
P.S. If the weather should be bad, we'll move indoors to St. John's Lutheran Church at 155 Milton Street, 2-4 PM.
Please note the time change!
