Advertising the Club

In order to advertise the club, we are working on a club logo, t-shirts with the logo on them, perhaps a window/bumper sticker with the logo and of course the club poster which is the front page of the website.  Today, I visited two Junior High Schools, Jarrett and Pershing, three high schools, Glendale, Central and Parkview, one University, Drury, and the downtown YMCA and one business, Crosstown BBQ, Steve, the owner has visited our club on several occasions, and I either left or posted our poster at these locations in hopes of letting people in the community know chess is alive and well in Springfield.  I still need to visit Hillcrest and Kickapoo and some other junior highs and other businesses in the next few days.  I also wrote the Springfield Greene County Park Board and asked if we could have our site linked to theirs and I have added several links to our link page of other chess clubs and/or businesses that have some connection to chess either loosely or directly.   We are hoping that our site shows up on Google soon and we have written them asking that our URL be added to the search engine.  Of course, if you have any interest in promoting our club, let us know or drop by the club to get a poster.  And remember you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
