| My mom just moved here and is missing her mah jong group from home! Do you play or know anyone who does? I'd love to hook my mom up with a group so she can throw some tiles down! (is that appropriate mah jong lingo?) I think she's seen a few Chinese mah jong groups on Meetup, but she plays by the American rules. If you have any inside scoop on where she can play American mah jong, preferably in the DC/Arlington/Alexandria area (but she'd probably travel within a reasonable distance!) -- please post! Thanks! |

She can post at http://www.MahJonggMatchUP.com , too
Your local parks and recreation will have weekly (or more often) games where she can meet players and then form a home game. Libraries and your local JCC will also most likely have games. She can also post to TEACH players in your neighborhood to play and then form a group. So many women want to learn, but don't have anyone to instruct them! |

| I was the OP of this thread in the fall -- my mom has since found a few groups here in NOVA thru the JCC -- I bet your mom could easily find some groups in Bethesda. Good luck! |

| NP here. Any idea on how to find Chinese mah jong groups (without being Chinese)? Meetup doesn't seem to have any. Thanks! |

| My mom is 87 and lives in assisted living in Friendship Heights (Bethesda). She has been looking for Mahjong games, and was surprised to find out that no one in her building plays. Has the person who posted on 07/18/2012 found any games in the Montgomery County or Upper Northwest DC area? |

| I'm the poster you referenced. I did find a few games on Meetup but they were Jewish/American Mahjong, not Chinese (not sure which your mom wants.). I'm in NoVA so wasn't looking in MoCo, but I'll bet the synagogues, JCC, maybe Hadassah have it. |
