The new Euchre Club of Chicago website is now up and officially running at www.euchrechicago.org. And after one week, we're already making improvements!

Check out the new Member Business Directory where you'll find a company listing featuring the many services and talents offered by club members. If you have a business or service you'd like to promote, send us the information in an email at euchrechicago@yahoo.com and we'll add you to the list.

To start things off, check out Eric Wallbruch's listing which includes a special limited-time discount on massage therapy services!

TONIGHT, Tuesday, August 7, is the first official Tuesday Night Euchre Party! Join us tonight and every Tuesday thereafter at the Center on Halsted just north of Addison. Sign-up begins at 7:00pm, play begins at 7:30pm.

To find us, make your way to the second floor (take the staircase directly in front of the main entrance doors). When you ascend to the second floor, make your way to the room which runs along the entire front of the Center (so on your left if you're facing the second-floor reception desk). That entire room is ours.

The Whole Foods has opened on the first floor, and with the opening of the Whole Foods is the underground parking lot too. Technically the parking lot belongs to Whole Foods, so as long as you buy your macrobiotic spear of asparagus (or a bottle of water or something), you're allowed to park in that lot.

Also, the Center is a BYO facility, so if you don't like what Whole Foods has to offer, the 7-11 across the street sells some fantastic 45-ouncers.

As for the prize, winners have two options -- the choice of five free drink tickets from Charlie's (which is located across the street from the Center -- each drink ticket is for a domestic beer or well drink, a $15.00 value), OR five free plays (the winner gets a free play card). If Tuesday nights really take off and we can cover it, we'll raise the prizes accordingly.

If you have any questions, feel free to check with any board member, including your Tuesday Night Host, Dan Miracle!

Dear Readers,

I've covered a lot of topics in this column, some to do with cards, some with relationships, and some just on life in general. I'm not too easily shocked, but this week's letter was so out there that I can't even print it in my column. If you'd like to read the question in question, send an email to euchrechicago@yahoo.com to receive a copy of the letter in your inbox. After you read it, you're welcome to submit your own answer, the best of which I'll print in an upcoming newsletter.

If you have a question about Euchre strategy, ECC club rules, relationships or just life in general, send an e-mail to resident expert Hoyle at euchrechicago@yahoo.com. We promise all e- mails are anonymous, and the answers may just
