The strange names of the tiles in Maj Jongg are music to the ears of those playing in The Roth Family’s Jewish Community Center 14th Annual “Maj Madness” Mah Jongg Tournament, to be held Sunday, Jan. 28, 2018.

The festivities will begin at 9:15 a.m. with registration and coffee and light breakfast and games beginning at 10 a.m. The tournament format will include four rounds following the National Mah Jongg League Official Rules of Play.

Open to people of all playing levels, Maj Madness is $36 per person ($30 for JCC members) and includes a light breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, drinks, door prizes, and awards.

Co-chairs Julie Levitt and Dale Perreault anticipate a great turnout. “We are excited to offer a fun event in a relaxing atmosphere,” Levitt said. “We want it to be multi-generational and an opportunity for people to socialize with friends.”

“We’re thrilled that this is now the 14th annual Maj Madness and that the event has become such a mainstay of our community,” said Perreault.

The registration deadline is Jan. 21, 2018, and after that there will be a waitlist formed. For more information, please call Julie at 407-926-0491 or Dale at 407-622-0073. Registrations are accepted at the JCC, by calling 407-621-4036 or online at orlandojcc.org/calendar/maj2018.
