Hi everyone we are asking for donations (any amount is allowed) to help finance all the fees we pay for this club. We are not charging a monthly fee right now because we think everyone should be able to play, but we will appreciate any amount you give us to help do more events for the future. Our fee for february neared around $170 and that's for 1 month, so to do a consistent amount of events in the future we can only run through donations. Another way you can support us is by playing in our OTB events or our entry fee online events Donations can be made here. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sairamramabadran Thanks!

We are extending the deadline of Round 5 in the Winter Marathon by 1 week This is mainly because a good part of the participants are dealing with severe weather conditions and snow and it isn't really fair for them as they may not have access to power. We are now extending the deadline to 3/1 (1 extra week) Thank you all for understanding
