Seasoned canasta players are welcome at our weekly event in The Ark at the Shames JCC! This session is intended for intermediate and advanced players who have a command of the rules.

Please note that all players will be randomly assigned tables; this means you’ll have an opportunity to play with a variety of people, socialize, and have an enjoyable two hours. We ask that all participants be able to stay for the duration of the time (1:00–3:00 pm) to ensure fair play.
