Canasta

Fridays from 10-12

Our Canasta group meets each Friday from 10-12 in our activity room. We have experienced players as well as beginners. The group is led by our volunteer Jane. Beginners are welcome but plan to observe the game for your first session as you learn.

Canasta is a card game in which players or partnerships try to meld groups of two or three cards of the same rank and score bonuses for 7-card melds. The first player or partnership to hit 5000 points wins! Beginners are welcome but  plan to observe the game for your first session as you learn.

**Rescheduled**
The Bittersweet History of Chocolate
Friday, March 21
6:30-8pm
Teens 15+
Registration Required

Throughout its history, chocolate has been a food of the gods, then kings. Chocolate, the bestower of both pleasurable delight and cultural myth-making, a coveted luxury export of New World colonialism, a conspirator in illicit seduction and decadent moral decline, a sweet method of murder by poison, and the embodiment of globalization. The contemporary culture and consumption of chocolate remains rich with neo-colonialism, modern slavery, and environmental degradation.

Participants in this teen history program will learn the science, social impact, and socio-environmental future of this bittersweet commodity. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in how to make dipped chocolate truffles, chocolate ganache, chocolate sauce, and concoct their very own death by chocolate.
