Interest Groups and Other Key Member Resources
Newcomers Interest Groups cover a wide range of activities and are a terrific way to get to know other members while sharing what you have in common. Our list of interest groups continues to expand as new activities are identified by our members. We encourage you to share interests and passions with others by volunteering to start new interest groups.

American Mah Jongg is considered by some as a more challenging game than its Chinese counterpart. It is played with the same set as Chinese, plus 8 joker tiles and an American Mah Jongg card that comes out every year in April. That card has formulas that allow you to claim Mah Jongg. You choose the formula based on the tiles you have. It’s a fun game! The group meets every Monday afternoon, 1:00 – 3:30, in players’ homes. Join us!
