We at The Haven are glad to be getting back into the swing of things. As we prepare for our Autum Season (Getting the Carpets steam-cleaned, the Haven re-painted, all the shelves and areas re-sorted) we have decided to hold a member Census. In two weeks we will have a 20 Question census that will let us see what we are made of, and what direction The Historic Haven needs to move in.
