Dear Lisa,

MAHJONG STRIKES AGAIN 9/22

Yes, that's right, Mahjong is back, again! Join us for MAHJONG FOR BEGINNERS on Thursday, September 22 at 5pm. There will be three Mahjong sets available (enough for 12 players) and we'll be using instructions for Chinese Mah-Jongg from the website sloperama.com (click here to see them) to teach the fundamentals. We'll talk about some of the differences between variants (American vs. Chinese, particularly) and you will learn the basics of setting up and playing this popular international game.
