Interested in Mahjong but don't know how to play? It's not so difficult. We can teach you the game! But first have a look at the general game instructions https://www.coololdgames.com/tile-games/mahjong/hong-kong/
If you have played Mahjong before, it is likely our we play different than you. We have noticed that every club or household around the world plays a different version. Please click here to see our Mahjong House Rules, Winning Hands and Scoring.
RSVP by Monday at 18:00. The activity will be cancelled if we don't get a minimum of three.
Newcomers to the game, the game of mahjong is a bit complicated in the beginning so plan to play at least three times to start understanding the basics and improve from there.

The Jewish cemetery of Veyrier was founded on July 16, 1920. What makes it truly exceptional is its geography: although it is known as a Geneva cemetery, most of the grounds actually lie across the border, in the French commune of Étrembières. The frontier line between Switzerland and France literally cuts through the cemetery, making it unique in the world. The Oratory, Built in 1930 Ten years after the first burial plots were acquired, the Jewish Community of Geneva entrusted the architect Julien Flegenheimer with the task of designing an Oratory and funeral center on the Swiss side of the grounds. Since 1981, the Oratory has been illuminated by a monumental stained-glass window, created in glass slabs by the artist Régine Heïm, illustrating the Book of Genesis. In 2001, its facades were further enhanced with luminous Jerusalem stone, bringing a touch of the Holy City to this quiet resting place. A Place of Passage The unusual location of the cemetery also gave it a remarkable role in history. During the Second World War, its position on the border made it a discreet crossing point for those fleeing Nazism and seeking safety in Switzerland. Later, in the years just before the founding of the State of Israel, it became a favored route for would-be emigrants making their clandestine way toward Palestine.

Members at Large “Thursdays Together” Workshop
Beginners' Generative AI Workshop with Session Leaders: Sharon Markert and Carol Waites
Come along and learn how to use generative AI. If you already have a little knowledge, you can also come and help those starting out. We will learn what it is, what capabilities it has and how to best use it for our personal lives. Examples include getting a recipe for what is in your fridge, planning a trip, writing your family history, asking for investment advice, citizenship questions and a myriad of other things you might use it for. Bring your laptop, phone or iPad so you can learn first-hand to put AI to use.
Sharon Markert
Sharon started her career in IT back in the days of mainframe computers (1987), but given the rapid rate of technological change since then, she has been dismayed at times to realize that her young nieces and nephews know far more about today’s technologies than she does! After an initial period of resistance, she is determined not to entirely miss the boat on AI, so has recently started to use AI for tasks such as creating English lessons for the AIWC EWS activity and to polish her writing for the AIWC writers’ group. She also attended the recent AI for Good Summitsponsored by the ITU and came away feeling energized and hopeful about certain aspects of AI. She is keen to help others in the club try to get comfortable with the benefits and fun of AI.
Carol Waites
Since her active retirement in 2021, Carol has written her memoir of her career at the UN. She found AI useful in this task. She has also taught WHO staff members globally how to use AI in their writing. She has given a few sessions on using AI in our writing in AIWC writing workshops.

The Association Pour La Sauvegarde du Leman needs help on Friday 17th October from 8:30am to 12 noon at Port Choiseul, Versoix. They are once again looking for volunteers to clear the shores of our beautiful lake of Asian Knotweed. This plant is an invasive foreign species which can grow up to 8cm a day and chokes out our indigenous plants. It is a wonderful opportunity to do something really worthwhile outside in the fresh air.
Initially this activity will be open only to members but as it is taking place during the school holidays it will be opened up to children, friends and family if places remain available after October 1st.
Please bear in mind that you will be working along the lake shore/ immediately next to the lake and so good balance is important. Solid shoes and clothing suitable for gardening incl a hat are recommended. If you have them, water shoes may be useful.
We will meet at Gare Cornavin and take the train together to Versoix. Port Choiseul is approximately a 10 minutes walk from the station. I will finalise and distribute the train times and arrangements for meeting the group in Versoix once I have received the final information pack from Robin at the ASL.
