December 10^th- Go Club Intro meeting with the Marshall High School Go Club (3pm-4pm). This is a board game involving two players that originated in ancient China. The two players alternately place stones on the vacant intersections of a board.  The objective of the game is to surround a larger area of the board with stones than the opponent’s area. We are still in need of volunteers/sponsors for this activity.
