Youth Chess

Calling all chess geeks in the Sioux Falls area.  Here's the deal: I have, for the past several years, had siouxfallschess.org registered and I've never done anything with it.  That said, with my two eldest sons reaching an age where they would like to play chess more with their friends, I'm considering starting up a youth chess club (for 8-12 year olds.)  The objective would be to meet once a week to go over some tactics, motifs, and strategies and in general to play some chess with players of similar skill levels.   At the same time, I'm basically thinking that my role will be first as a facilitator and second as a "coach".  Since I suck wildly at chess, I am looking for volunteers to help with the "teaching" aspects of a chess club.  If you're interested, drop me a line.
