    Ann, thank you so much for your amazing informative blog, so kind of you to help us spread the news.

The Mah Jongg community has been overwhelmingly supportive. The beautiful emails, PM’s, texts and calls are all positively inspiring, we thank you. MJ players are amazing people, just wanting to get involved, help, asking questions or just complimenting what we are doing, makes it all worth it.. For the game we all love to play with a new twist. We hope to see many of you in Vegas for the 1st Inaugural MJWC, where champions come to play… VEGAS BABY!
