DO YOU KNOW WHAT PONG MEANS ? by Nicola Robertz

Do you like to gamble ? Then join the AWCH Mahjong Night , and we ’ ll teach you how to play .
The third Saturday of the month is Mahjong Night . Each month has a different host but , every time , the group goes in on a potluck dinner and enjoys a social meal before the mahjong tables get set up and the gambling starts .
The players find each other easily at the different tables for the different levels , from total beginners ( joined by a helpful teacher ) to advanced players . It takes a lot of luck to collect the same kinds of tiles to “ mahjong ” a game . But being the winner of a round doesn ’ t automatically guarantee the most points . With the wrap-up of the round , the points get collected , and at the end of the night , our wonderful mahjong leader and organizer , Stella , hands out a little gift to the player with the most points .

JOIN US THE THIRD SUNDAY EACH MONTH FOR AN EVENING OF FOOD & FUN !
