Mahjong |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our Muskoka Lakes Public Library Mahjong players met every Monday morning at 10 in the Heritage Room at the Port Carling branch, in the 'before times'. They didn't let the pandemic closures and restrictions stop them from playing the game they all enjoy, though! They have been meeting at a private Mahjong table, online, since all the closures. Interested in joining them?
