Canasta Team Play
Meet, mix and mingle with other Canasta players!
Smile On Seniors is excited to host Canasta events.
This is a great opportunity to Stand, Sip, Swap, Schmooze and play with new people!
The goal of the SOS Canasta is for all players to start and finish each game at approximately the same time.
Opportunities to learn how to play Canasta are also available!
Advanced and Intermediate players are grouped together.
Beginners and those needing lessons are a separate event.
Each Canasta Team Play Game seats 2 - 8 tables (up to 32 players).
Nominal entry fee. (Donation for Team Play $10, Lessons/Skill Improvement $5)
Nosh provided.

Testimonials:
We started attending the Canasta Beginners Course just a few short weeks ago and thanks to our amazing teachers & hosts, Pinki & Issy, we now enjoy playing in the Canasta Round Robin. We’ve met great people and have lots of fun. We look forward to this event every month! Highly recommend it! - DT
I am grateful to SOS for sponsoring this Canasta Group because through this group, I have reconnected with old acquaintances and formed a friendship with another. - BA
Challenges in learning a new card game or attempting more success in playing canasta can be achieved by this project offered by Smile On Seniors and the efforts of Pinki and Issy. We must pursue new challenges, as we do in our daily lives, so trying something different keeps us focused , motivated , and engaged. The saying “ Try it you may like it” may be this opportunity. - BG
