Do you like to play games? Would you like to learn a new one? More popular than ever with adults of all ages, the game of Canasta is a fun, complex and addictive game. We will cover all aspects of the game, using Modern American Canasta rules. Participants will learn the rules and strategies needed to play. Each session will include instruction and supervised play. Meet new friends or gather your friends; either way this game offers you great brain exercise, fun, and a social experience.
Beverly Hoffman Shire and her daughter Emily Shire have been game enthusiasts their entire lives Now retired from a career as a teacher, principal and special education administrator, Beverly has more time to pursue her passion for games and to teach others how to play some of her favorites, which include Mah Jongg and Canasta. Bev’s daughter, Emily, a seasoned Canasta player, will be co-teaching the class. Emily is a high school special education teacher/inclusion facilitator in a neighboring town. They look forward to co-teaching the class again and sharing their love of the game.
