 Membership Update:  Welcome to all the new members and applicants who have are  joining the Haviland Club. The Club now has 164 members!

 Library Update:  Painting took more time than anticipated due to many unforeseen problems with the walls. Thank you to Patricia Craig for being on top of all those issues as painter no1, and for doing the thorough, careful job our beautiful house deserves. Given the age of the walls we can no longer put nails or screws into them. A new approach is being actively investigated now. Please note that the Library portion of the room will re-open by 10 April when the paint is well dried off and not sticky wet. The House Committee thanks everyone for their patience.
Books are coming in and thank you again to all who donate. All the books are in an Electronic Catalogue, if you wish to have a copy via your personal email, Laurent can sent it to you. We will continue to add to the E-Catalogue in this manner. This will give us a professional library look.
