TEXARKANA MAGAZINE

Helen Mobley “Julie O’Shaughnessy and I are opening Texarkana’s first card and tile studio this spring. Birds Of A Tile will be a social gathering space for mahjong, bridge, and board games. We’ll host casual play, birthday parties, instructional lessons, tournaments, and private events for groups and corporations. I’ve been teaching mahjong for five years and have worked to build a strong community around the game. Classes are open to anyone interested in learning. For more information, email helen@birdsofatile.com or find Texarkana Mahjong League on Facebook.”

Heather Kiser “TXK Mahj and Mingle hosts several opportunities for open play throughout the month for anyone who already knows the basics of mahjong. I also offer multiple ways to take classes for those new to the game, including one pop-up class per month and in-home instruction so you can learn with your closest friends. I am constantly posting schedules and events on all my social media outlets to keep you informed. Check Instagram at txk_mahj_and_ mingle or Facebook at TXK Mahj and Mingle.”
