Back by popular demand! The 2nd Annual Mah Jongg Marathon!

Sunday, March 11, 2012

12 noon - 5 P.M.

Mah Jongg Marathon

Join us for the second annual Mah Jongg Marathon to benefit the Museum of Jewish Heritage. The day begins at 12 noon and will include terrific raffle prizes and great fun.

For details e-mail mahjongg@mjhnyc.org

Throughout its history in the U.S., mah jongg has been at the center of women’s gatherings, often for philanthropic purposes. Taking a page from history, we are taking the day to play in the service of the Museum and to celebrate the role of Mah Jongg in the Jewish-American tradition.

While the day lasts from 12 noon to 5 p.m., you can play for as long or short a time as you like.

The registration fee is $36 . When you register, you will be asked to tell us your skill level (Beginner/Intermediate/Lifer) and we will match you with the right players. If you currently play with a group, we encourage you all to register and get sponsors.

Register now!
