Beachwood Recreation Guide - Winter 2023/2024

Beginner Mahj Lessons Instructor: Fern Grunberger

How About Euchre & Cribbage?! Do you play Euchre or Cribbage? We are trying to get a game together, call 216-292-1970 if you are interested. We’ll assist in organizing a group at the Community Center.

Is your Mother’s mahj set collecting dust? Do you know that “BAM! & CRACK!” are not just terms in the comic strips but also part of the game of Mahj? Mah Jongg is a tile game that requires critical thinking, situational awareness, social intelligence to play it well and provides countless hours of fun! Fern Grunberger, mahj enthusiast, will be teaching women and men who have never played mahj. This class is only for beginners. The sound of the clicking tiles will be music to your ears as you will be playing in no time. Bring your official National Mah Jongg League 2023 card (hands and rules) or purchase a card ($15 exact change please) from instructor at first class.
