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.
Registration for each month’s sessions will open on the last Monday of the previous month at 8:00 am. For example, you can register for the February dates beginning Monday, Jan. 26 at 8:00 am.
By registering for canasta you acknowledge that there may be weeks (sometimes consecutively) when you are seated with five people at your table if there is an odd number of players. If you need to cancel for any reason, please call the welcome desk at least ONE HOUR on the day of or earlier at 914-366-7898 so we can give your spot to someone on the wait list.
