We have two opportunities for Lakes residents to play mah jongg upstairs at the Clubhouse: Tuesday afternoon from 1 to 3 PM and Friday morning from 9 to 11 AM.
LynnAnn Wojciechowicz is in charge of the Tuesday afternoon group. Jane Toaspern is in charge of the Friday morning group.
We must be notified by noon the day before you wish to play in order for us to accommodate you. Contact LynnAnn on Monday to play on Tuesday by texting: 602-769-5088. Contact Jane on Thursday to play on Friday by texting: 602-403-8620.
We use the National Mah Jongg League 2025 card, which will be good through March 2026. If you don't have a card, but would like to learn, phone or text LynnAnn (602-769-5088) or email her: lynnannw@gmail.com. LynnAnn is happy to teach you how to play this exciting game of skill and luck that keeps Alzheimer's at bay.
Lakes residents and their guests are invited to join the Out To Lunch Bunch on Wednesday, April 9 at noon at Feta Cowboy,1840 E. Warner Road, suite 108, Tempe on the northeast corner of McClintock and Warner.

There’s also an option to build your own bowl ($10.99), pita ($9.99), or burrito ($8.99). Protein choices are chili-braised chuck roast, gyro, chicken shawarma, chicken taouk, salmon, cowboys kebab, or brisket. The full menu may be viewed at fetacowboy.com
