Our Story
About Winds of Laughter
A mahjong community rooted in friendship, laughter, and the memory of someone truly special.
Who We Are
Winds of Laughter Mahjong Social Club
Winds of Laughter is a mahjong social club based in Denton, TX, built around one simple belief: that the best games are played with great people. We welcome beginners and experienced players alike, offering classes, open play sessions, and a community that genuinely loves the game.
Whether you've never touched a tile or you've been playing for years, you'll find a seat at our table. We play American Mahjong, laugh a lot, and always make room for one more.
Our classes are designed to be approachable and fun — no intimidation, no pressure. Just good instruction, good company, and the joy of learning something new together.
The Foundation
Patrick Worrell Memorial Foundation
The Patrick Worrell Memorial Foundation was created to honor the life and legacy of Patrick Worrell — a beloved member of our community whose warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched everyone around him.
Patrick believed in the power of bringing people together. Through Winds of Laughter, we carry that belief forward — using a game we love as a way to build community, support one another, and give back.
All proceeds from class fees, events, and shop purchases go directly to the Foundation. When you play with us, you're not just learning and/or playing mahjong — you're helping keep Patrick's memory alive in a meaningful way.
What We Stand For

Giving Back Through Play
