It's Just Havenville now!
Due to popular demand, the name of the proposal has been changed to just Havenville. Too many people were scared by the Hollow term so it has been removed from the proposal and we are going with Havenville Park instead. More later...
Havenville Proposal Rec Dept Update!
Just wanted to thank everyone for the support at the Rec Dept meeting last night! We had a great turnout and I think we made some progress but we will have to wait for the board member's response. I will keep you posted! Thank you to everyone who signed and turned in a postcard, thanks to those who called or emailed their town meeting member, thanks to those who sent words of encouragement and thanks to those who were at the meeting, either physically or in spirit! There will be a small write up in the Union this week and the full story in next week's edition. Stay tuned!

Hi Everyone!
Well, this has been a very interesting week down here in Havenville. I got to spend several hours with the Co-Chair of the Burlington Historical Commission, Mike Tredeau, going over Havenville history. He is a wealth of information and knows just about everything about Burlington. He also hosts that great cable show All History is Local on BCAT. I also got to speak with Bob Costa, another Burlington history expert and a teacher at the Burlington High School. He is also the author of the fantastic book Images of America, Burlington that has great Burlington information and lots of very old photographs! And lucky me, I got to have a wonderful conversation with a lovely lady, Harriet Rice. Harriet is the daughter of Louis Skelton and she grew up in Havenville. She shared with me some of her memories of growing up and what Havenville was like when she was a young girl. Fascinating! I am so appreciative for all of the people who have taken time to talk to me, send in the postcards or email me with encouragement. That is what makes me keep going with this mission.
If you are a Burlington resident, like the Havenville name for the park and want to help out, please email me a simple message stating your support for the new park to be named Havenville. It doesn't have to be Havenville Hollow as long as we can resurrect the Havenville name. Please include your full name and street address along with your message. I am compiling emails to show the Recreation Commission members that there really are people in Burlington who care about Havenville! If you are really excited about Havenville, why not contact your Town Meeting member and ask if they can support Havenville? Ask them to contact me with their message of support as well. And lastly, if you are a totally passionate Havenville fan, please come to the Rec Dept meeting on Monday, February 14th (yes, it's Valentine's Day!) at 7 PM and show your love for Havenville! Thank you all so much for your continued support!
Peace,
