Hello, Haviland Club Members, we thought you could use a Newsletter! 

Hi there. We wanted to stay in touch. After all, we’re all still here, even if we’re not all there, if you know what we mean.

We hope to see you soon, once the curve is flattened, and that it happens soon—although, you know how hard it can be to flatten our curves…

Read down, we’ve included a joke, but first, we wanted to thank some people and suggest virtual clubbing.

And remember, we are family. If you need anything and can’t get out, let the Club know. There are people to help!

Thanks to Sue S for organizing, and performing as part of, the music of Lucy Blu the last Friday evening we were together. Lucy and band were a delight, and Sue, thanks!

And Thanks to those who organized the Easter Seal Campaign Bridge Fundraiser, and since we have a picture we’d like to show it. Member Jake B, organizer of the event, is seen below with Carol of the Happy Bidders Bridge Club. Missing is Irene MacArthur of the Over the Bridge Club—both bridge Clubs, of course, call the Haviland Club home.

This is a Newsletter to the Members of the Haviland Club. All activities pertain to member/guest-only activities unless indicated.

Now What About Virtual Clubbing? 

There are some Club activities, like the book club and play reading, that could be done through What’s App (max 4 people) or Zoom (lots of people but maximum 40 minutes for the free version) and we ask Barbara and Robin to consider those options.

The Book Club

The Haviland Club Book Club is reading the fascinating social sci-fi novel Nostalgia, by M.G. Vassjani, a fascinating tale of the challenges of longevity. The group could chat through Zoom, it would require only downloading the app.

The Play Reading Group

The Play Reading Group finished Chekhov’s “The Boor,” and were planning to expand to a longer play, “Barefoot in Athens,” about Socrates last days. Would people be interested in doing this on line?

And Finally—An Update on COVID-19 in the UK and Australia

This joke from member—and Chaz, sorry for the edit. As you know, we Canadians apologize a lot, but that doesn’t mean we LIKE doing it! So we took out some of the less flattering stereotypes, funny though they were.

We hear the English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat. They’ve raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.
The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s Get the Bastard.” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Oh, and the Russians say, “Its not us. We only spread viruses on line.”

If there’s anything else you’d like to see shared with the Club, home-stay pictures, jokes, information, please email it to thehavilandclub@gmail.com and we’ll include it in a future email if we can.

We may not write every week, but we’ll be in touch.

Stay Safe, Everyone! We care about you!

2020 Easter Seals Ambassador, Vaeda Matheson, was our guest speaker for Coffee and Conversation, 10 –11:30 AM (Public) held each Thur Morning at The Haviland Club.

Member David MacKay, with Joscelynne Bordeaux and friends, is presenting a preview of their new show, “The Montgomerys, A Tribute to Maud Montgomery in word and song. LM Montgomery, better known to her friends as Maud, until the 1950s was the most famous novelist in Canada and some say in the world, selling hundreds of thousands of her books in various languages internationally. Over the past months David and Joscelynne have been  adapting some of the poetry of Maud Montgomery to music as well as developing songs in celebration of her life and work. Add this free spectacle to your Friday fun!

2020 Island Fringe Festival Lottery Selection Party, Saturday February 1, 7:30 PM

The much-awaited Robbie Burns Scotch Tasting on February 7th is sold out, sorry. But, if you’d like to come, put your name on a list at the bar. We never know how things will work out.

Play Reading Group Monday February 10, 7:30 PM

The Haviland Readers Theatre will meet again at 7:30 PM on Monday, February 10 at the Haviland Club. We’ll be reading “Still Stands the House” by Gwen Pharis Ringwood, and (we hope!) “The Lesson” by Eugène Ionesco, with a discussion of both. Last week we read “Aria da Capo” by Edna St.Vincent Millay, a darkly humoured commentary on territorial divisions and human indifference. Though the play was first staged in 1920, it provides a remarkably contemporary thrust at present-day politics (e.g., The Wall!) Though the purpose of our Readers Theatre is just to enjoy reading the texts we choose, discussion afterwards is a lot of fun!

We would love to have you join our Play Reading Group! And, and this is important, if you plan to attend, please contact Robin email at  to be sent the material, as we distribute scripts by email. At the next meeting we will also be discussing plans for moving forward including the number of meetings in a month, script selection, reading ‘cold’ vs. polishing a presentation, and the mechanics of finding and distributing scripts. Remember, please contact Robin for scripts if you would like to join us (and we hope you do!)

The Haviland Club Book Club, Tuesday February 18, 7 PM

Having enjoyed the Other Side of the Sun by Island author Thien Tang, for February, the book Club is reading one of the all time classics of Canadian literature, Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies. Coming up, Nostalgia,  by M G Vassanji. Join the conversation!

HOUSE COMMITTEE UPDATE AS WE GEAR UP FOR 2020

The House Committee is busy with activities to address maintenance repairs, and we are also developing plans for freshening up the club’s rooms and furnishings. Please bear with us as we work with the Paul Davis contracting crew to find and permanently fix the on-going problem we have experienced with water leakage from the bay window area of the lounge. We anticipate that this problem should be fully resolved in the coming weeks. We have also solicited bids from several companies for snow removal from the front and rear entry walkways, stairs, and mobility ramp, and are happy to announce that Earthform Landscape Professionals was the successful bidder. We will be seeking a bid from them for lawn mowing services in the warm weather months.

Mark Hansen of Red Clay Construction, a certified Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT) inspector, will be coming to the Haviland Club on February 3, 2020, to perform the WETT inspection that was advised in our 2019 building inspection report. While a typical building inspection includes a visual inspection of the fireplace, chimney and hearth, a WETT specialty inspection conducted by a certified inspector includes an inspection of all the elements of any wood burning technologies in the home to make sure that they are installed correctly and are installed with compliance to building codes and regulations. It should also include a visit to the roof to examine the chimney for any potential structural or ventilation issues. Mr. Hansen will also clean the fireplaces chimneys that are currently in use. The last chimney cleaning occurred in 2018. In light of the upcoming WETT inspection, we ask that members refrain from building fires in the lounge or great room fireplaces until after the WETT inspection has been made and the accompanying report issued. As the need for this inspection was documented in our 2019 building report, it is important that we not expose ourselves to insurance liability issues by using the fireplaces until after the inspection report confirms that they are in good, working order.

In the coming months we hope to continue with room renovation efforts for several of the second floor rooms. Upgrades to the current flooring is badly needed in a number of the rooms, and we will slowly work towards replacing furniture items that are in a degraded condition. Improvements and upgrades to the club’s first and second floor rooms will serve as an important support to ongoing efforts to increase membership and rental revenues. We will also be investigating provincial energy saving programs for which we may qualify. There is currently a provincially supported rebate program available for installing mini-splits (an interior energy efficient heating/air conditioning unit that works with an exterior compressor). We plan to have an evaluation made on whether such a system would be suitable and economical for the club.

Fundraising projects to build a House Committee budget for addressing the ongoing maintenance costs for the Haviland Club are already underway, and we will be updating members on those planned activities in the coming months.

I mean, and this is a serious, philosophical question, why the heck not? Comments and questions please to rscarson@icloud.com or call 902-892-3373—or just show up, which is what we did the last time.

The Haviland Club Book Club, Tuesday January 21, 7 PM

This month comes the Christmas-delayed discussion of the fascinating, The Other Side of the Sun, a fascinating immigrant’s tale by Island writer Thien Tang. For next month, with the full support of the book club, leader Barbara suggests we read something other than The Big Green Tent, which those who’ve started it agree is a bit of a dud. SO… for February the book club is now reading My Friend Anna: The True Story of a Fake Heiress, a true story recently in the news. Check: A Fake Heiress Called Anna Delvey Conned the City’s Wealthy. ‘I’m Not Sorry,’ She Says.

On November 23, the PEI Writers’ Guild will host a screenwriting workshop, the first of a new “Crossing Over” series the Guild is hosting this year. Entitled “Screenwriting 101,” the workshop will be facilitated by Louise Lalonde of Louise Lalonde Productions, a Prince Edward Island media company.
