๐ THE GRATEFUL GATHERING ๐ **A Little Mahjong. A Lot of Gratitude.** Good tiles, good friends, and a little giving back! Join us at The Bamboo Room for a lighthearted social mini-mahjong tournament where friendly competition meets a wonderful cause! We'll play two one-hour rotations, with three games per round and prizes along the way. No tournament pressureโjust a little friendly competition, plenty of laughter, and a whole lot of heart. Complimentary snacks and drinks are included. To participate, each player must pay the $40 registration fee AND bring at least one item from the donation list below.** The donated items will benefit the Committee for Helping Others (CHO). No instruction will be provided. Players must be able to keep pace with 3 games an hour. **Needed donation items: - Cooking oil - Cookies - Toilet paper - Paper towels - Shampoo - Canned stew - Assorted dry beans We're proud to support **CHO**, an all-volunteer organization serving neighbors in Vienna, Oakton, Dunn Loring, and Merrifield since 1969, providing simple, loving assistance to those in need. **Six games. Two rotations. One grateful community.** Come for the mahjong, stay for the friendships, and help us spread a little kindness beyond the table. **Because the best hands are the ones that give back.** ๐
