Mah Jong

Want to learn to play Mah Jong? Come to the Twin Valley Senior Center and join the fun! TVSC hosts this fun & challenging game weekly, on Wednesdays, from 10:15 a.m. to noon. Then stay for our delicious lunch (only $6 per person) prepared by our NECI chef, Chef Paul Mertz.

Mah Jong is a fascinating, 4-person rummy-like game played with tiles rather than cards. Some initial time and effort are required to become familiar with the principles of the game, but as you continue to play, your patience in mastering the fine points of the game will be repaid many times.

If you're interested in learning to play, or already know how, then please stop in and join us. While there is no fee to play, TVSC gratefully accepts donations to help offset the cost of running the facility.
