Maynard-area Chess Club/Organizing Notes

The organizer's job esp. right after the club meets

1. Help things to run smoothly. Purposefully make yourself the "odd man out" if necessary.
2. Try to pair new people with someone who will give them a challenging game.
3. Take at least one photo, with as many chess players in it as possible.
4. Upload to the photo album and change the web pages' top text.
5. Hookle will post to Facebook Group, Instagram, and Twitter
6. Buffer will post to Google Business, Facebook Page, and LinkedIn
7. Discord, MeetUp and Yelp! need to be handled separately.
