Windward Chess Club loses mall space for its meetings

Advertiser Staff

The Windward Chess Club is looking for a new weekly meeting area.

The club was notified Wednesday by Windward Mall that the center court area is no longer available because of a planned renovation. Jonathan A. Kim, Windward Mall general manager, said in a letter to the club that management is adding a significant amount of seating areas around the center court in response to customer requests.

On behalf of the club, state Rep. Cynthia Thielen (R-50th, Kailua-Kane'ohe Bay) is appealing to property owner Kamehameha Schools to step in and allow the club to continue meeting at the mall.
