🀄 Mahjong Mustangs: Come play, connect, and learn!

So you love Board games, but have you added the hottest game in America (and the world) to that list!?

Originating in 19th-century China, Mahjong is enjoying an explosion of popularity in 2026. Much like Pickleball, Mahjong’s rise reflects a need for a third-space free from screens but heavy on community!

Join AAPASA each month and become a Mahjong Mustang!

It’s a fun way to enjoy lunch, connection, and a little friendly competition.

Next game will be on October 23rd @ Noon at the Cox School. No experience necessary. Just bring good vibes!

Stay connected and learn about upcoming Mahjong gatherings and other wonderful AAPASA events by signing up for their newsletter.

🎗️🌸 Breast cancer awareness starts with knowledge—and continues with action.

Breast cancer can affect people of any gender, though it is far more common in women. Knowing what’s typical for your body and reporting changes—such as a new lump, skin changes, or ni**le changes—to a healthcare professional can help you take informed next steps.

Share this post, support those affected, and encourage someone you care about to learn about screening and risk. 💗 Support the survivors and bring awareness by wearing PINK this month.
