(In-Person at PSRC’s Poor Farm Road Location)  - Mondays and Wednesdays, beginning April 4 through April 20, 1:00–3:00 p.m. Fee: $60 for the six-session series.

You will learn to play the American version using the National Mah Jongg League rules and card. Neilia Makadok, an experienced educator, will explain the basics in simple terms and guide you as you play. Enrollment is limited to ensure a successful learning experience. The instructor will provide the use of her Mah Jongg sets during the class but you are welcome to bring your own. Neilia Makadok is a trained educator and management consultant who has developed simplified methods to teach Mah Jongg and has taught Mah Jongg and Canasta for over twenty years.

NOTE: There is a materials fee of $11 payable to the instructor at the first class. Maximum is 10 students. 8 students needed for course viability. See PSRC’s safety protocols for in-person programs.
