Beginner Mahjong Night to Benefit Hinsdale Humane Society

Beginner Mahjong Basics to Benefit the Hinsdale Humane Society

Come mahj with us! Mahjong is a centuries-old tile game that is steeped in history, art, and tradition, and will quickly become your newest obsession! Lisa from The Mahjong Guild will be on hand to teach you all the beginner basics: the tiles, the player card, how to deal, finding your best hand, and so much more! Get your mahj-on in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere all to benefit the good works of the Hinsdale Humane Society!

A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the Hinsdale Humane Society. Your ticket includes:

• All mahjong game pieces, accessories, cards, and teaching aids
• Light snacks & refreshments provided
