BCF annual appeal - please discard the pre-addressed return envelopes you may have received.

Dear chess friends -

I hope you have or were planning to make a contribution to the annual appeal of the BCF, but I need to ask you to discard the pre-addressed return envelopes.

I inadvertently omitted the leading "0" in the zip and the post office computers will bounce it back to you. If you have used your own envelop, delivery should be fine.

I apologize for the error and inconvenience - I have learned to avoid hanging pieces, pretty much, but I still fall victim to the Excel-delete-the-leading-zero trick.

Finally, please help us make sure that our December contribution drive is a success. If you want to see the club continue, please make a generous donation this holiday season. We only exist because of your support.

Send your contributions and renewals to

Boylston Chess Foundation
PO Box 441345,
Somerville, MA 02144

Or, you can also simply bring your donations to the Herb Healy.

We'd love to see you at the Open House on January 1.
