This fun Mahjongg group meets once a week after their yoga class at the CHEER Senior Activity Center in Milton, DE. They’re kind of famous; they were recently featured in the Mahjongg Insider Newsletter!

As one of the group explained, “We’re all fairly new to the game and enjoy learning from each other. And yes, we all wear our Mah Jongg earrings for extra luck.” Why not join them? They’re hoping to welcome other to join in, even if you don’t join them at yoga. And no, you don’t have to wear the earrings, but we won’t blame you if you do! Come check it out!

We are grateful for the very generous donation of dog food from our friends at Charity Crossing! Not only do many of our county’s seniors struggle to afford nutritious meals, they will often struggle to feed their canine and feline companions. Through our program, and donations of funding or product, we can help them with both. Thanks, Charity Crossing!
