MECA is looking to increase membership in 2014. The leading chess organization in Maine promotes Maine chess, helps fund the award-winning chessmaine.net website, and oversees the statewide MECA Player of the Year competition as well as sponsors the official state championship.
Yearly dues are $12 for adults and $6 for scholastics; that is $1 and 50 cents a month respectively - not very much to support Maine chess. Membership automatically includes one in the POY competition. The competition is to reward those that play in the 12 POY events. There are prizes for the 1st place finisher as well as the runner-up, and this year there are prizes for the top class B, C, and D and under finishers. The current cash rewards are $100, $50, $25, $25, and $25 respectively. If enrollment is high, the prize fund will be increased. Our goal is to double MECA membership this year which would mean having 80 members.
Let's make 2014 a chess year to remember! Follow chessmaine.net event page for upcoming events.
