Canasta lessons begin in January

Canasta is a game that challenges your brain, but is not so complex as bridge. If you would like to learn how to play or want to brush up on your skills, we’ve got a class for you! Beryl Blecher will teach a two week beginner class, just right for beginners or players returning to the game, 1 to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 10 and Jan. 17 at the Village Center. Play will follow from 2 to 4 p.m. The cost is $25 for the two-class session. Handouts will be provided. A minimum of 4 needed for the class to proceed. To ensure a seat, register through ActiveNet.
