Donations / Income to the Club:
1. $500 from the Walter Muir grant, which is administered by the Foundation for Roanoke Valley. It is given to the club's General Fund, with the expectation that it will be at least partly used to honor the memory of Walter Muir by holding a chess tournament of some kind.
2. $500 from Mr.Tracy Callis Sr., which goes directly into the prize find and expenses of running the Tracy Callis Jr Memorial tournament. As a specifically targeted donation, this grant is not a general donation to the club's General Fund.
3. The club made slightly over $200.00 in book sales during this fiscal year.
