Upcoming Events
TONIGHT: Play Reading Group Monday January 13, 7:30 PM
An organizational meeting for the Haviland Readers Theatre will be tonight, Monday, January 13, and we would love to have you join us. We will begin by reading Edna St. Vincent Millay’s short play “Aria da Capo,” that takes a darkly humorous look at the meaning of war. We’ll also choose some future readings and a general direction for the group. The purpose of the group is to look at drama off the page, and to do that in a relaxed and enjoyable way. Please join us. Contact Robin Carson.
Coffee and Conversation, Thursday January 16, 10 –11:30 AM
This week, January 16th, Jennifer Evans is visiting from Ocean 100 radio. Have you been by the Island Technology Centre to watch the broadcasting? And, as usual, If schools are closed because of the weather, then Thursday morning coffee is also cancelled.
Friday Social this week – Bar Opens at 4, Draws at 6
If you’re not a Friday night regular, you’re missing an instant party—fun evenings of varied conversation with people you enjoy being with.
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.
Future readings include Fifth Business, by Robertson Davies; and Nostalgia, by M G Vassanji. Come join the conversation!
Show Preview: Tribute to Maud Montgomery in Word and Song, Friday January 31, 6:30 PM

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.
