Have you always wanted to enter a tournament\, but you’ve been a little hesitant because you’re not sure if you’re fast enough\, or if there’s scoring issues? We have a great way for you to get ready for tournaments while playing in a tournament. It is our Modern Mah Jongg flexible virtual tournament. You play online on any National Mah Jongg League website\, either with friends that you register with\, or we could set you up and you could play with other players on the same website. If we can’t find three other players on the website of your choice\, there’s an option of playing against bots for a bot prize. \nYou play at your convenience anytime between November 1 and November 6. You register for $36 for six rounds\, which is four games per round. You could play them all at once\, or you could break them up however your group works. We try to pair players in the same time zone if we can and put people together for a fun and competitive game. You could win gift cards for Modern Mah Jong and Amazon\, all while raising funds and awareness. Each month that we have a tournament we pick a different charity and this month (November) proceeds will benefit The Life Raft Group. \nThe great thing about playing in our virtual tournament in addition to having fun competing for prizes and raising funds and awareness is we set you up to understand how timing works\, how scoring works and gets you ready to play in a local tournament or a national tournament. \nOur custom score sheets include the rules as well as how to score. So scoring is based on the value of the card. If you are Joker-less other than a singles and pairs hand\, you get a bonus. If you’re self-picked for any hand\, you get a bonus. If you throw to an exposure\, more than two exposures\, you get deductions. And at the end of the tournament\, whoever is considered East simply takes a picture of\, or scans the document of your score sheet and emails them to us. We put everything in order and announce the winners and email prizes out. So it’s a really simple and fun way to get started on tournaments and see if you love them. \nWhat’s not to love having fun with friends\, entering for prizes and doing good by raising funds and awareness for charity? \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:GISTRead/GISTWatch - Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:GISTWatch is a part of our virtual GISTEntertainment series\n(Updated 6-10-20) Our GISTEntertainment series continues with GIST Read and GIST Watch. We have combined these event to encourage more people to have time to read our selection\, The Hours by Michael Cunningham and to watch the film. Nicole Kidman won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf.  During our event\, we will have an open discussion comparing the novel versus the film. \nSome of you may wonder why we chose such a serious book in a time in which such difficult things are happening in our world. We did ask our members to vote on the title\, and this was the book chosen. \nThe Hours is actually a perfect book for these times\, for although it deals with some difficult issues (Mental Illness\, serious illness\, restrictions on roles for women)\, above all\, it is a book about the elevation of ordinary things and the value of love in the midst of the difficult. In the midst of a pandemic and a world crying out for justice and equality\, it is those ordinary precious hours that define us. \nDuring this critical time we are asking you to partner with us. Our suggested donation for this event is $10. \nREGISTER for GIST Read/GIST Watch

SUMMARY:Caregiver Support Group - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:This is an Eight-Week Support Group for GIST Caregivers.\nHeld every Tuesday starting May 5th at 5pm ET.\nLimited to 12 participants. \nOnline Support Group Launching Tuesday\, May 5th \n\nAs we navigate this uncertain time together\, we want to offer you a little extra support. Starting Tuesday\, May 5th at 5pm ET the LRG will have its own weekly support group for caregivers of people living with GIST facilitated by Chelsea Madia\, LCSW and Angela Edson\, LSW. In an effort to continue social distancing\, we will use an electronic platform\, to come together for eight consecutive weeks as a small group of 12 participants. \nWe will talk about all of the feelings you might be experiencing\, both in relation to caring for someone living with GIST\, and also navigating your role during COVID-19. We will share experiences\, if you are comfortable\, and speak freely about the new fears and anxieties we might be feeling as a result of this unprecedented time. The group will be a safe space not only to feel supported by your fellow GIST caretakers\, but also a place to share our own coping mechanisms to get us through this stressful time. All information shared will be kept confidential. \n\nREGISTER\n \nAbout the Group Leaders:\nAngela Edson\, LSW \nAngela is a licensed social worker in New Jersey. She has been an employee at the Life Raft Group for close to five years. During her graduate studies she interned at a local hospital’s outpatient cancer center providing support to patients and caregivers. Additionally\, Angela has personal experience as a caregiver to loved ones with a cancer diagnosis. She understands the challenges that come along with this role and is excited to co-facilitate this support group.< \nChelsea Madia\, LCSW\nChelsea Madia is a licensed clinical social worker in New York\, who started in the field in 2011 counseling at-risk teens at the Child Center of New York in Jamaica\, Queens. After this\, her work took her to the Coalition for the Homeless in lower Manhattan\, where she supported mentally ill homeless adults in their quest to move into supportive housing\, as well as apply for disability benefits. From there\, she worked for nine months on the Psychiatric Mobile Crisis Team at Mount Sinai Beth Israel\, before being promoted to Program Manager. In November of 2018\, after three years managing the team\, Chelsea was diagnosed with metastatic GIST. Since that time\, she has been stable on Gleevec\, and now is in the early phases of starting her own private counseling practice in New Rochelle\, NY.

Join us for a relaxing meditation while connecting with others in the LRG GIST Community. Meditation can help you lower stress and anxiety\, improve focus\, reduce brain chatter\, connect better and sleep more. During this event\, you will learn how to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement. \nregisterAbout our presenter:\nSheetal Muhlon \nSheetal Muhlon is a health coach\, yoga and meditation teacher\, mom of three\, former highway engineer and Bar Method Studio owner. She started her “health journey” over a decade ago when she was looking for answers to her exhaustion and migraines. Her doctor told her that her blood test levels were all good and that it was because I had three kids and was getting older but she knew she just wasn’t herself. Her body was not feeling it’s best and she needed to figure this out. \n\n“Growing up my mom would share how we eat certain foods to balance our bodies and maintain a strong immune system. I always had that in my mind and made healthy choices but there were foods I thought were healthy for me but just not working for my body\, mind\, and spirit. I needed to learn more and enrolled at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and later become certified in yoga. My journey from trying to feel better\, to how foods heal and using movement and breath to support my immune system has led me to feel my best! As a health and wellness coach\, I help my clients find personalized simple tools to optimize their health and find balance. Strong immunity\, longevity\, and vitality have become my focus and inspiring others to feel their best\, my purpose.”   – Sheetal \n\nThank you to our GISTMeditate Sponsors!\nRob Taylor \nRob Taylor\, Silver Sponsor\n“During times of struggle\, we have options:\n1.
