National Master Loal Davis Lecture Series
National Mater Loal Davis is giving a series of two hour lectures covering various topics. Seating is limited, so please RSVP for lectures you plan to attend by emailing Loal at DavisChessMusicLessons@yahoo.com or calling (636) 527-0513.
To accommodate both those students who have missed some lectures and those who've missed none, Loal has decided to offer two lectures in one day, with a longer snack break in between. You can attend either lecture or both. We're adding pizza to the list of snacks and more time to the break to allow for more chewing. There will still be a 15 minute midway through each lecture.
COST: Each lecture will still be $10, and all snacks are on the house.
On a personal note, I have attended a handful of the lectures and they were wonderful! Loal has a strong grasp of the material he presents, and his teaching background ensures that the material is conveyed in a manner that all of us can understand. If you are available for any of these lectures, I'm sure you will find them enjoyable.
