The Out To Lunch Bunch meets the second Wednesday of the month from September through May.
We now 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 8 PM the night before you wish to play in order for us to accommodate you. Contact LynnAnn for Tuesday by text: 602-769-5088 or email: lynnannw@gmail.com. Contact Jane for Friday by text 602-403-8620 or email: Janetoaspern@icloud.com.
LynnAnn currently has 13 Lakes residents on the Tuesday list. We have room for 16 players. This means we have room for 3 more Lakes residents to play with us. We also have a list of non-residents who have been playing with us. That list is now closed to new players as we currently have more than we can accommodate. This may change as people leave for summer travels. One reason we need to know ahead of time who plans to play is so we can let non-residents know if they have a space.
Jane's group is just getting started, so she welcomes Lakes residents and non-residents who wish to play. LynnAnn welcomes all levels, including beginners. We will be using the 2023 National Mah Jongg League card until April 1. We do have a 2023 card you can borrow to use at the Lakes if you are interested.
LynnAnn is currently taking orders for the 2024 National Mah Jongg League card. The cost $15 whether you order from LynnAnn or directly from the National Mah Jongg League.
Just phone or text LynnAnn (602-769-5088) or email her: lynnannw@gmail.com so we can plan for you.

The Out To Lunch Bunch meets at the Beach and Tennis Club on the second Wednesday of every month except during summer and carpools to a new gastronomic adventure for lunch. The Bunch reserves tables, so sign up at the Clubhouse at least one day in advance. Meet at the Club to carpool at 11:30 AM or meet at the lunch spot at noon.
The Lakes Book Club meets once a month on the third Thursday, at 7 PM.
Discussion is open to any topic about the book chosen at previous meetings. Be prepared for lively and thought-provoking conversation on a variety of books and authors.
The club is open to all, whether or not you have read the book. We welcome new members. There is no pressure to lead the discussion, but we love to have new members do so. Check the Lakes Log for upcoming book selections or email one of the coordinators for more information about the club.
