Study Group Leader(s):
Melissa WattsMelissa Watts enjoyed a long career as an architect and city planner, designing major projects across the US and teaching aspiring architects to master the complexities of bringing order to chaos. Mah Jongg became her passion three years ago as 152 tiles form hands much as the variables of construction form a building. Teaching an Intro to Mah Jongg class at the Woman’s Club of Chevy Chase forced Melissa to dig deeper into the rules and strategies that make great players.
