Euchre Club of Chicago Vol 4.34
Newsletter
March 18, 2008

Welcome to the Euchre Club of Chicago weekly newsletter -- a collection of event information, club news, gossip, advice, and things that amuse us from the Internets. And there's no truth to the rumor that we're smarter than a 5th grader.

If you have ideas, gossip to divulge, humorous thoughts, abject praise, rampant criticism, ideas to improve the club, or you're just kinda lonely and want to talk, send a note to euchrechicago@yahoo.com.

  • We're back!

    That golden hue you see on many of your fellow club members can only be attributed to the wild success of our first ever (and now annual!) Spring Break! A fantastic time was had by all (really, just ask around), and we're already making plans for next year's getaway.

    Alas, there are no pictures to post from the festivities, so you'll have to use your imagination, and join us next year if you really want to know what happened.

    Oh, and if you lost your watch, your sunglasses or your innocence, please see ECC President Ron Hall.


    Spend Easter with your Real Family

    In case you're wondering, there will indeed be cards on Easter Sunday, March 23. As is tradition, we'll now make our annual Easter joke: Be sure to check out Sunday Director Geoff Dankert's basket.

    Come dressed as a giant bunny and play for free. And wearing a rabbit fur coat doesn't count.

    And one more reminder that playtime at Charlie's has officially changed to 6pm.


    This Week's Weather: Platitudinous

    This week's weather provided by the meteorologists at WFLD-TV Fox Chicago.

    TUESDAY 51 / 33 Thunderstorms
    WEDNESDAY 43 / 30 Partly Cloudy
    THURSDAY 42 / 26 Partly Cloudy
    FRIDAY 40 / 29 Partly Cloudy
    SATURDAY 43 / 29 Partly Cloudy
    SUNDAY 45 / 27 Partly Cloudy

    Obviously this is Fort Lauderdale's weather. We'll sum up this week's Chicago weather for you in one word: Craptacular. Enjoy!


    Hall of Fame Nominations

    The board is still accepting suggestions for this year's induction into the ECC Hall of Fame. Inductees should be people who have shown terrific sportsmanship, congeniality, and make the club a better place through their participation.

    If there's someone you'd like to suggest, please send and email to euchrechicago@yahoo.com and tell us why this person deserves to be inducted.

    The Board of Directors will announce its decision at this year's anniversary party in July.
