Health Care Bill Heads To U.S. House Floor For Debate, Vote
Is there a better way than to validate your Monday night drinking than by combining it with donating to a literacy program?
We're pretty sure there's not, which is why we're excited about Danny's Tavern tonight [edit: next Monday]. Danny's hosts a monthly Peace Party to benefit a worthy cause. This month they're donating half of all drink prices tonight to benefit for Open Books, a literacy program that next spring will launch the city's first nonprofit literacy bookstore.
Open Books aims to improve literacy in Chicago through their reading buddies program working with volunteers, Chicago public schools, and adult reading programs. If one of your New Year's Resolutions was to be a volunteer, Open Books has several openings. More information on their programs and the ladies who run it is available here.
Open Books will also have another benefit on April 23 at Mystic Celt.
1951 W Dickens, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., free, 21+

Danny's Danny's Danny's! They do some many great things and of course Open Books are empowering kids in some of the most troubled schools. I love them!
That has to be the worst bike rack ever designed. I've never tried using it, but I always shake my head in disgust when I go past it.
Jess, I believe the Peace Party at Danny's is next Monday, April 14th.
