Order your 2019 Mah Jongg cards!
The Sam Pomeranz Jewish
Community Center is
taking preorders for 2019
National Mah Jongg League
cards. Available in standard
size for $8 and large print
for $9, sales of the cards
will benefit the JCC’s Senior
Meal Program. The order
deadline is January 11, 2019.
“Anyone can order Mah
Jongg cards through the
JCC,” says the Cindy Stein,
JCC director of adult and
senior programming. “It’s
very convenient and you’ll be helping to
support our senior program. You don’t
have to be a JCC member or play Mah
Jongg at the JCC to place an order.”
All card orders will be mailed by the
National Mah Jongg League directly to
purchasers’ homes by mid-March. Card
purchasers will automatically receive a
one-year membership in the National Mah
Jongg League.

there is no charge for this service, however
voluntary contributions are accepted and
appreciated.
