TOBY ALWAYS MAKES ME SMILE…
I love receiving emails from my dear friend Toby Salk who lives in my once-upon-a-time home of Berkeley, CA. Her email photos always bring a smile and I thought you might enjoy a couple of her most recent pictures. And, by the way, if you live in or around the Bay Area then you are lucky enough to either take Mah Jongg lessons from Toby or join in her Sunday Mah Jongg brunches and other Mah Jongg events.
And don’t forget about Toby’s big yard sale TODAY, July 22, 2017, from 10am – 2pm. Email me at ann@mahjonggandme.com for her address if you are interested in checking it out. 
ARE YOU READY FOR A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FUN?
A ridiculous amount of fun is what Toby Salk promises you will have if you are signed up for one of her events held in the Berkeley, CA area.
Count yourself as one of the lucky ones if you live in the Bay Area and can be a part of Toby’s fabulous Mah Jongg Brunches – brunch is from 11 am to noon and then Mah Jongg play goes until 3 pm. Toby makes it possible for you to enjoy playing Mah Jongg while making new friends at her wonderful monthly brunches.
And, on Sunday, February 7th, Toby is holding a Lunar New Year Costume Party. Brunch is from 11am – 12 noon and then Mah Jongg play from noon until 3 pm. Dim Sum/Chinese food will be served; wear an Asian costume or just wear RED! Click here to register in advance, which is necessary.
A MOMENTOUS BIRTHDAY!
If you are a reader of this blog then you know I frequently put up posts about a wonderful Mah Jongg teacher in the Berkeley, CA area by the name of Toby Salk. Toby hosts a monthly Mah Jongg Brunch that provides, as Toby says, “a ridiculous amount of fun!” Her most recent brunch was quite special as the participants were celebrating Toby’s birthday AND her dear mother Reva’s birthday.
Toby wrote: “My mom Reva, in turquoise, turned 99 on July 13th. She won FOUR games at the brunch!!!“
Just more proof that Mah Jongg is not only great fun but is great for the brain! Let’s all wish Toby and Reva many more years of big Mah Jongg wins! Enjoy these photos from the wonderful birthday brunch!!
HOW DO WE FIND HER?
FOLLOWING HER BLISS…
Those of you who read this blog know that from time-to-time I write posts about Toby Salk and her Mah Jongg tournaments. I have never met Toby in person but, through our mutual love of Mah Jongg, we have become virtual friends. Recently a very inspirational article was written about Toby that told so much about her personality and spirit and I thought I would share it with you today. Enjoy!
Here’s Toby with her fabulous mother, Reva, at the Project Mah Jongg exhibit when it came to the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.
