K. Mah Jongg: I’m looking for 3-4 players who would be interested in a monthly or bi-weekly game during the day using the rules from the Mah Jongg League. There is another mah jongg game using traditional rules (not using the card from the Mah Jongg League, and if there is interest in that, there could also be a table of players for that game. We could alternate at members’ houses or, maybe if we get enough interest, have 2 to 3 tables and use the hall at the church.
