What our Mahjong Volunteers will be engaged in:

1. Sign in at the volunteer office and obtain the attendance sheet


2. Remind residents to participate (names and room numbers on sheet), plus invite others


3. Set up the main lobby with chairs from storage in a circle with enough space for the residents to get up and move around safely


4. Facilitate the program (Mahjong usually is played by tables of 4 players, and you will instruct, coach, and support them, depending upon their ability, knowledge, and experience)


5. Take attendance (when in doubt, ask the residents to tell you their names)


6. Thank the residents for participating and tell them when you will be seeing them next


7. Place the chairs used for Mahjong back in storage, restoring the lobby


8. Sign out at the volunteer office, leaving the session attendance sheet
