AbodesJoy

We’re excited to share that our friends at Mahj4Good will be hosting an American Mahjong event/fundraiser in support of our work on Saturday, September 13th in Silver Spring!

From Mahj4Good: All experience levels are welcome. If you're a beginner, you will learn about the tiles, game set up, flow of play and NMJL card, as we guide you through at least one full game of play. If you have experience you'll be paired up with others who know how to play at your own pace. Play as many rounds as you'd like to fit into the event time!

Beginner Ticket: $60
The beginner seats are perfect for newbies and those who played once upon a time and need a full refresh.

Open Play Ticket: $30
The open play seats are great for those who are ready to level up their game and play a bit more independently and seasoned players alike.

Secure Your Seat: Complete the booking page here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMTKXE-ZffcX_iX9ibGVKoNiykqFbQdD5Cv7zoMHIZJwi4YQ/viewform

When: September 13 at 6:30pm

Located at: Church of the Ascension, 633 Sligo Ave, Silver Spring MD
