Hey, trying to combine two topics to reduce email from us, sorry it's been 3/week in APR.

The AGA is trying to get ahead of Go Congress planning as it used to plan them 2-3 years in advance prior to covid.  They are hoping in 2026 or 2027 to have the US Go Congress in Seattle (or nearby such as Puyallup last time).  However, to commit to Seattle, the AGA needs 4-5 core volunteers to form a team to start the planning, review venues, start scheduling, etc.  IF YOU AND A FEW FRIENDS WANT TO GIVE THE GIFT of a Go Congress to Seattle, which also benefits the Seattle AGA Chapter with extra funding that can help pay for pro visits, school programs and outreach, etc., please send us mail and let us know you are willing to help.  As the actual time gets closer, there are always many people to volunteer on the ground and to pick up little tasks, but we need a core team committed to the planning and early actions needed.

We are also looking for someone pretty familiar with Wordpress to help us update the seattlego.org website.  We've recently gotten some requests to keep the calendar up to date, and we are returning to using it this week.  It has been a very long time since our website has gotten a face lift, and we would really appreciate working with someone to freshen it up and make sure we know how to change everything on the website.  If you can help with that over a weekend or a few evenings, please reach out to us.

Thanks,

Bill

Hey, folks.  I wanted to share this even though it is only about volunteering in public schools.  SGC very much appreciates the passion of our community and your support of our programs and always rising to the call and supporting Kyle by volunteering in many different outreach events.  We also appreciate our PPI folks who also make some school programs possible.

SGC could not meet the call of Iwamoto Sensei's mission to spread peace and cultural awareness through Go without all the volunteers and your passion to pass Go on to others.  Even at SGC, so many people freely give teaching games, reviews, comments that help all understand Go better.

We very much appreciate all of you!!

We are also announcing Kids Time is cancelled now through summer.  Depending on interest in the fall, we will resume Kids Time.

Thanks,

Bill
