Canasta is a card game developed as a simpler alternative to bridge and is played by four participants in two partnerships. It offers engaging mental stimulation, and once students learn its many principles and rules, it can provide hours of enjoyment. (A word of caution: the game can be highly addictive.) On the following dates, the instructor will be absent; however, participants are welcome to play independently: Feb. 19 & Feb. 26.
