Join us every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for a fun and friendly game of American Mahjong—a blend of skill, strategy, and a little bit of luck!

Please note:
🌟 Prior experience is required, as we do not currently have an instructor to teach the game.
📋 Due to the popularity of this program and limited space, registered players are guaranteed a spot at the table.
🚶‍♀️ Walk-ins are welcome to check in at the start of the session, but space may not be available once tables are full.
⏰ If you arrive more than ten minutes after the program begins, you may need to wait until the next round to join.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make this program enjoyable for all players!
