Impact & Give Back: Making a Difference with Mahjong
Mahjong, a centuries-old game of strategy and camaraderie, is finding a vibrant life on the Eastern Shore thanks to passionate groups like Mahjong Collective and Mahjong Magnolias. Spearheaded by inspiring local women, these communities are using the game to foster friendships, build connections, and support meaningful causes.
Lynn Cooper, founder of Mahjong Collective, was captivated by the rhythmic clicking of the tiles and the social connection the game encourages. “It’s a challenging yet fun way to engage your mind and connect with others,” she shares. What began as a personal quest for playing partners has grown into a thriving network. Since May, Cooper has taught nearly 500 people, witnessing firsthand the enthusiasm of the community.
