My name is Wendy Stevens and I teach Maj at the Dublin Senior Center on Fridays from 12:30 to 3:30. We currently have about 4 steady tables and would welcome anyone who wants to learn the game or is looking to play. I also know some of the players are looking for games in addition to the Friday senior center games. I am in a few games and know that some ladies are looking for players in areas like Walnut Creek, San Leandro, Alameda, Pleasanton and Livermore. The number for the Dublin Senior Center is (925) 556-4511. You can leave a message for me there.

Hello Susan,
I've already helped you as much as I can. I have a bulletin board where people from all over can look for and find players and teachers in their area. My FAQ 4a lists teachers (including one in central Virginia). And I wrote FAQ 15 to help people learn extra ways to find players and teachers.
I'm posting this on both the Q&A bulletin board and the Find Players/Teachers bulletin board. Maybe someone in your area will see it and contact you. But you need to be proactive too. Don't just sit and wait. Avail yourself of the resources I've given you.
May the tiles be with you.

Looking to start a group that would meet Friday nights. I have my mother's Lucite set from the 1960's, that she begged my father to get her for her birthday one year. I remember the coffee, the Entenmanns's, the chatter, the laughing. I used to play with my sister when we were little. So much fun...such good memories...I guess you can say I'd like to recreate that part of my past. I'm in my early 50's and would prefer to be around my peers vs. my Mom's generation.
