Registration is now open for the Friends of the Library Canfield Committee’s 6th annual Mah Jongg Tournament. The fundraiser will be held on Tuesday, April 29 from 9:00am-2:00pm at A La Cart Catering, 429 Lisbon Street, Canfield. Proceeds of the tournament are used to benefit Children’s Programming across all branches of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County. Last year nearly $3,000 was raised to give books to children completing the Summer Reading Program. Mah Jongg players of all skill levels are encouraged to attend the annual tournament.
The event will begin with a buffet and raffle ticket sales before play begins at 10:00am, and will end with sweets and the announcement of game and raffle winners. The top three players receive cash prizes. The raffle promises many interesting and generous items. Make plans now with your foursome to attend; there is a limit of 25 tables. Tickets are $30 per person and the registration deadline is April 21.
For more information about the tournament or the Friends of the Library, contact Deborah Liptak, Development Director of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, at [email protected] or 330-740-6086.
