This course is for beginners with NO experience playing Mah Jongg. Focus will be on identifying tiles, how to read the Mah Jongg card and how to play a basic game using the rules of American Mah Jongg. A helpful reference is A Beginner's Guide to American Mah Jongg, How to Play the Game and Win by Elaine Sandberg.

Carol Rossi-Fries was an educator for 37 years teaching at Potsdam Central School and SUNY Potsdam. This is her second year teaching Mah Jongg for SOAR and has thoroughly enjoyed passing on her love of the game to others. It's a great way to exercise the mind, meet new people and have lots of laughs.

Pam Dumas is a retired English teacher from Potsdam Central School who is an avid Mah Jongg player. This is her third semester assisting with Mah Jongg for Fun classes and enjoys sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm for the game with new and experienced players alike.
