The South Shore Chess Club is an entirely free, social chess club for adults and pre-teens.

Parents should register their kids by emailing Michael at thesouthshorechessclub@gmail.com before attending. The kids chess playing session is from 4 to 5pm on Wednesday.

Adults (5:30pm-8:30pm) can just drop in as long as they know how to play. There’s one entrance to the church at 18 Spear St and participants can contact Michael at thesouthshorechessclub@gmail.com for PIN/QR Code.

The club’s mission is to provide a friendly environment for the promotion of good chess camaraderie and positive community strength, while encouraging traditional OTB games of chess!

The demonstration of good chess etiquette is strongly encouraged at The South Shore Chess Club but good-natured Blitz chatter/banter is to be expected and enjoyed as well.

The South Shore Chess Club is located within Bethany Congregational Church at 18 Spear Street in Quincy with plenty of local parking available along surrounding streets and at Crane Library’s nearby lot. The building is handicapped-accessible and less than a half-mile from the Quincy Center MBTA station.

Webinar: How Exit Planning and Selling your Business Work Together
2026-05-27 13:00 | MA
Most small to mid-sized business owners look to maximize the sale of their business as a once in a lifetime event and are not quite sure where to start.
A panel of Exit Planning and M&A experts provide step-by-step advice in a webinar set for Wednesday, May 27th from noon to 1 PM via Zoom. The event is sponsored by My Pinnacle Network, with three business-to-business, virtual groups emanating from throughout Eastern Massachusetts.
Panelist includes business brokers Bob Karlis, Cabot Business Brokers, Hingham, MA and Paul Cronin, Touchstone Advisors, Boston, MA, as well as Paul Corrigan, of Rosetta Valuations, Quincy, MA. The panel will be moderated by Steve Dubin, founder of PR Works and My Pinnacle Network, Plymouth, MA. RSVP at https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/w9uz8n9.
The round table format will explore how far in advance to properly plan your exit; the process of selling a business; the significance of a business valuation; the potential for buyer or seller remorse; what to consider for your next chapter in life; and more. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions.
Paul Cronin has over 30 years of professional experience in sales, management, consulting, and entrepreneurship. He has owned three businesses including a data analytics business, a golf training business, and an exit planning/consulting business. He has been part of the M&A world since 2009, initially in the exit planning field before moving to transactional work at several firms.
An accomplished entrepreneur and marketer, Bob Karlis has served as president/CEO of multiple successful businesses including start-up divisions of Johnson & Johnson, Cadbury Schweppes, Millipore, and a series of smaller,
privately held and financed ventures. With an impressive success rate leading business start-ups and turn-arounds, Bob founded CABOT Business Brokers as an outgrowth of his prior work with early-stage ventures and his identification of their need for a disciplined, experienced business approach when pursuing a sales transaction.
Paul R. Corrigan founded Rosetta Valuations to provide complete valuations services along with “feet on the street” business brokerage experience. He determined that one of the earliest and most critical issues in any decision to sell was the question of value.
Moderator Steve Dubin, founder of PR Works and My Pinnacle Network, has been helping businesses connect the dots for over three decades.
The webinar costs $9 to attend. Seating is limited to 40. Please RSVP at https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/w9uz8n9
