This class is lead by a professional teacher of the ancient game of Maijhong. Building upon skills and practice, this class offers a unique opportunity to learn and grow with other community members in a fun and supportive fashion.

Mahjong[1] (English pronunciation: /mɑːˈdʒɒŋ/ mah-JONG; also spelled mah jongg, mah-jongg, and mahjongg) is a tile-based game that was developed in the 19th century in China and has spread throughout the world since the early 20th century. It is played by four players (with some three-player variations found in parts of China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Southeast Asia). The game and its regional variants are widely played throughout the Sinosphere in East and Southeast Asia and have also become popular in Western countries. The game has also been adapted into a widespread form of online entertainment.[2][3][4][5] Similar to the Western card game rummy, mahjong is a game of skill, strategy, and luck. (Source: Wikipedia)

Patient Choices Vermont (PCV) is dedicated to education about Medical Aid in Dying and end-of-life choice in Vermont.
​ 
Vermont's Patient Choice at End of Life Law (Act 39), enacted in May 2013, enables people who are terminally ill and who are capable of making their own medical decisions the option to request and receive medication that they can use to bring about a peaceful death if and when they so choose.

Join us for this conversational-style, educational program in which we will discuss a general understanding of your rights under Act 39 and awareness of medical aid in dying.

Advanced Directives Write Up

Planning for end-of-life care or for a time when we are unable to care for yourself, is not easy. Talking with the people that matter most to you and sharing your wishes is a good first step. Join the Varnum Library on Saturday October 25th at 10am to learn how to have those special care and end-of-life care conversations and determine the best way to document and record those plans.
