Harriet Kugler Memorial Mah Jongg Tournament

Sunday, January 25, 2026 | 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Harriet Wainer Kugler was a longtime member, friend and employee of the JCC. She was our first Mah Jongg class instructor and initiated our Annual Tournament. Sadly, she was taken from us too soon, but her memory and legacy continue through the annual Harriet W. Kugler Memorial Mah Jongg Tournament, now in its fourteenth year. 

Anyone who knows how to play is welcome to register, whether you are just starting out or a seasoned player. Join us solo or with friends for a fun day of Mah Jongg, complete with snacks, coffee, lunch and both cash and door prizes.

The games will be played according to the National Mah Jongg League rules, using 13 tiles and the current year NMJL card. Participants MUST bring their own card.

$60 per person includes registration and entry for a door prize.  Receive additional door prize chances with every $25 donation.

This is a three-round tournament. Depending on the skill level at each table, each round will consist of 2 to 4 games. Participants will rotate tables upon completion of each round.
