THE CANADIAN CHESS TEAM THAT WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE NORTH AMERICAN YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP 2009, MAZATLAN, MEXICO

We want to welcome TEAM CANADA as they get ready to participate in the North American Youth Championship 2009, next week in Mazatlan, Mexico. Although the team is not the largest of the three North American nations, it is the bold heart and the passion to win on the chessboard that will count.

We want to thank the Canadian Federation for contacting both Beatriz Marinello and myself in order to assist with the registration process.

TRAVEL ANNOUNCEMENT

I am requesting that both American and Canadian team members email me as soon as possible with the date of departure, airline, flight number and time of arrival at the Mazatlan International Airport, so that we can be at the airport to receive you as stated before. We want to make sure of your arrival and placement in a taxi so that I can be ready to receive you at the hotel lobby for registration. I know that you have sent this information to me before, however, we received such a large quantity of emails in the past 3-weeks that gathering this information makes it difficult at this moment. Therefore, I request the four bits of information in order to make your arrival smoother than what it will be.
