The JCC is taking preorders for next year’s National Mah Jongg League cards. Available in both standard size for $9 and large print format for $10, sales of the cards will benefit the JCC’s Senior Meal Program. The deadline to place orders is January 14, 2022.
“Anyone in the community may order Mah Jongg cards through the JCC,” says Cindy Stein, JCC director of adult and senior programming. “It’s very convenient and a portion of the proceeds will help support our senior program. You don’t have to be a JCC member or have played Mah Jongg at the JCC to place an order.”
All card orders will be mailed by the National Mah Jongg League directly to purchasers’ homes by mid-March. Card purchasers will automatically receive a one-year membership in the National Mah Jongg League.
Mah Jongg players finally returned to the JCC last summer after more than a yearlong hiatus. The games have been fun and engaging, and the players are glad to finally be back.
Join the fun! Come play Mah Jongg at the JCC on Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Proof of COVID vaccination required—please show your vaccination card the first time you come. New players are always welcome!
For more information about ordering Mah Jongg cards or playing Mah Jongg at the JCC, contact Cindy Stein at 315-445-2040, ext. 104, or [email protected].
