- Susan Schwartz, Boca Raton, FL, Palm Beach County and will travel up to 25 miles, 973-204-3293, Sbs2nott(at)aol.com, I am willing to travel up to 25 miles to teach my favorite game. I have been playing American Mah Jongg using The National Mah Jongg league rules with my mother and my grandmother since I was a little girl and call myself a Mah Jongg enthusiast. I taught Mah Jongg in Essex County, New Jersey for many years prior to moving to Florida two years ago. Since I have moved I started the Mah Jongg club in my community and have taught many residents (men play to), and I have been teaching at several of the local Country Clubs from Boca Raton to Palm Beach. I have travelled for the past 12 years to tournaments all over the Country and continue to teach all levels of play from the basic fundamentals of Mah Jongg including the necessary skills to play, various strategies, the history of Mah Jongg, understanding the card and the terminology including the Charleston as well as picking a hand and later converting it as your tiles change. I highly recommend through my teaching experiences to ideally have a group of 4 people and have 4 sessions each session being 2 hours. Lessons can be arranged during the day or in the evenings including weekends. For any player interested in a higher or more competitive level of play I am also available for advanced sessions. Please feel free to reach out to me and may the Jokers be with you!

Once you learn the fundamentals of the game and begin to play, you will understand why so many people love it! If you are interested in learning how to play, Buckham West is offering a series of four learning sessions from 10-11:30 a.m. Thursdays: April 21 and 28 and May 5 and 12. Class instructors will be Jacki Johnson, JoEllen Schulz, & Sandy Nelson. It is strongly recommended that participants plan to attend all four sessions in order to fully understand the game. This is a free class. Buckham West membership is required. Limited to 12 participants. Registration is required by calling 507-332-7357.

- Games in Pen Argyl, PA: Shared by Teresa: I moved to the area just before the pandemic. I didn’t know anyone. So I went to a ladies game night the church I was attending and took my mahjong set. I taught them all how to play. The group started with 3, within a year it is now up to 14! We meet on Fridays at 1 p.m. Depending on how many are planning to come determines where we meet. We take turns in our homes or if more than 12 are coming we meet in the chapel at our church. Obviously we do not play for money. We have outings once a month, on Tuesdays. We go out to lunch mostly or visit historical sites or shopping. We share joys, birthdays & help each other through burdens. It has been a wonderful way for me to get to know people.
