Several weeks ago I posted a request on the VCC Facebook group page looking for other “newbies” to play some Mahjongg. I was pleasantly surprised by how much interest there was in learning and participating. Luckily for me, two very competent instructors came forward, Jody Egan (my personal mahjongg mentor) and Chris Young. They both have generously donated their time and expertise. Currently we have around 40 women (men you can also come) playing and learning twice a week. Mondays from 10:30-12 in the cabana, and Wednesdays from 2-3:30 on the patio. Several other experienced players have stepped up to become our “helpers.” People come when their schedule allows. No one is committed on a specific day.
I have set up this group using the TeamReach app. The name of our group is MahjVcc, with the group code: MJCC2026. This is a very handy tool for communicating amongst ourselves. Individuals can contact anyone who is registered on Team Reach and organize a small or large group for play. All are welcome to join, to have fun and to learn, perhaps eventually joining some of the experienced players that meet in the clubhouse on Monday and Friday afternoons.
Download the TeamReach app (I understand the Bocce group also uses it) and use the code above to join. We also use this app to organize the Ladies Social Tennis group that meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If you are interested or need more information, feel free to reach out to me, or better yet, just come and watch on Monday or Wednesday, or both!
