Welcome to the GVR Canasta Club!
The Canasta Club plays twice a week on Friday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. Doors open at noon for casual play, club play begins at 1:00 PM until 3:45 PM. Our usual locations are the auditorium (Sundays) or the lounge and game room (Fridays) at the East Social Center on 7 South Abrego Dr., Green Valley, AZ.

The GVR Canasta Club is one of the longest continuous card clubs in GVR. We currently have over 100 active members. The purpose of the GVR Canasta Club is to provide an opportunity to play the game in a friendly, social environment.
In addition to weekly card playing, the GVR Canasta Club also sponsors special events (Ice Cream Socials, luncheons and potlucks) periodically throughout the year for Club Members.
Canasta is one of the best known card games in the world and belongs in the Rummy family. Canasta is the Spanish word for Basket and the card game evolved in Uruguay and Argentina in the mid 1940’s. Canasta became popular in the US in the 1950's.
When playing, be sure to sign-in & have your membership/guest card with you.
