Play Mah Jongg at The Lakes Tuesday and Friday

A good time to play

Mah jong tiles 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.

Friendly Reminders

Please remember to travel the waterways as you would drive a car. Stay on the right side of all channels and make sure you have working boat lights: green on your port side (your left), red on your starboard (your right) and a white light at the stern. Please follow basic boating rules to keep our lake safe.

Please be mindful of the no-burn days that Maricopa County Air Quality Department issues. This means no outdoor fire pits and no fireplace fires. Please check Maricopa County Air Quality Department for up-to-date no-burn information.

When you walk your dog, please be courteous and pick up after your dog. The Lakes has many doggy stations with bags, please use them.

Please be respectful of your Lakes neighbors and don't throw garbage over walls or into the lake.

Homeowners, please remind your landscapers not to throw bush and tree trimmings, leaves or grass clippings into the lake.

Don't forget, starting in March you need to prep your lawn for the warm growing season. Lawns in the Lakes must be green and lush from April through September.

The city bulk trash and green pickups are usually (sometimes it changes)scheduled for the third Monday of every other month. Please put out your bulk trash items and yard trimmings no earlier than the Thursday before the Monday pickups. The dates are included on the Lakes Calendar.
