Registration is now open for the Friends of the Library Canfield Committee’s 5th annual Mah Jongg Tourney. The fundraiser will be held 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Tuesday, April 30 at A La Cart Catering, 429 Lisbon St., Canfield.
Proceeds will benefit children’s programming across all branches of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County. Over $2,000 was raised last year to provide books to children completing the Summer Reading Program.
Mah Jongg players of all skill levels are invited to attend the annual tournament. The top three players receive cash prizes. There is a limit of 25 tables.
The event begins with a meal and raffle ticket sales before tourney play at 10 a.m. The day closes with sweets and the announcement of game and raffle winners.
Tickets are $30 per person. For more information about the tournament or the Friends of the Library, contact Deborah Liptak, development director of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, at dl*****@li**********.org or 330-740-6086.
