Dear Lisa,

*BREAKING NEWS* MORE UNPLUG & PLAY EACH MONTH!

Thanks to new volunteers Ken and Christy, we're now able to add a second session of Unplug & Play each month! Some of you had asked for a night different than Tuesday, so the new session will be on the first Wednesday of each month. Thanks so much to Ken and Christy for enabling us to schedule more game time! Hope to see you November 2 from 5-8pm for the first Wednesday Unplug & Play.

MAHJONG V: RETURN TO HONG KONG 11/30

We're back with another session of MAHJONG FOR BEGINNERS on Wednesday, November 30 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.
