♟️ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 𝘾𝙃𝙍𝙄𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙀𝙉𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝙂𝙀𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙀 𝙇𝙄𝙈𝘽𝙄𝙉𝙂🎨

Today, we celebrate one of the people who helped shape the UM Cavalry Chess Club from the very beginning.

As one of our founding members, you played an important role in building UMCCC. You are the creative mind behind our logo, cover photo, and some of our first designs, which gave UMCCC its own identity.

Your work may be seen in our designs, but your contribution goes beyond that. You were there when UMCCC was still starting, and without your creativity and support, UMCCC might not be the organization it is today.

Thank you for being part of our foundation and for continuing to be part of our journey.

May you have a wonderful birthday filled with happiness, good memories, and new inspiration.

Happy Birthday, Christiene! 🥳♟️

From your UM Cavalry Chess Club family, we are grateful to have you with us.

Mente Vincimus.
