Minnesota Canasta
On the last Sunday of every
month, 12 special ladies meet to
play Minnesota Canasta. It usually
takes about four hours to complete
play. Each month one lady serves
as the hostess of the occasion. In
January, Marie Magdaleno chose
"Happy New Year" as the theme!
Thank you, Jorge Vawter, for
coming by and taking our picture.
Some of the same ladies play
Minnesota Canasta on weekdays
also, in the Clubhouse or at their
homes. On the first Friday of the
month, there is a couples canasta
group too!
If you are interested in playing,
stop by on the last Sunday of the
month at 12:30 pm. We have a list
of subs, but it has been shrinking.
Even though it is now April, we
want to wish everyone a happy,
healthy, and safe year.
