I live in Westchester, which is very central to the Los Angeles westside. It is between 10 to 20 minutes from Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City Mar Vista, Manhattan Beach, Playa del Rey. I'm just north of LAX near Lincoln and Manchester. I would be willing to provide the venue for a Mah Jongg group. If you have students in this area or know of players needing players----let me know.

I live in Irvine (92606) and would like to find a beginner Maj Jong Game. I watched my mother play MJ for many many years and when I was in my early teens, I would play in her game. It has been 40 years since I played but I know it will come back to me easily. I don't know the specific kind of MJ she played, but we are Jewish so I guess she played the Jewish or American version. I am willing to travel (not too far) to join a game. I hope there is someone out there that will take a chance on me.
Many thanx for your help.

We currently have about 4 steady tables and would welcome anyone who wants to learn the game or is looking to play. I also know some of the players are looking for games in addition to the Friday senior center games. I am in a few games and know that some ladies are looking for players in areas like Walnut Creek, San Leandro, Alameda, Pleasanton and Livermore. The number for the Dublin Senior Center is (925) 556-4511. You can leave a message for me there.

Hello Susan,
I've already helped you as much as I can. I have a bulletin board where people from all over can look for and find players and teachers in their area. My FAQ 4a lists teachers (including one in central Virginia). And I wrote FAQ 15 to help people learn extra ways to find players and teachers.
I'm posting this on both the Q&A bulletin board and the Find Players/Teachers bulletin board. Maybe someone in your area will see it and contact you. But you need to be proactive too. Don't just sit and wait. Avail yourself of the resources I've given you.
May the tiles be with you.
