I know, I know....it's been a long time since updates have been posted. Things have been SO busy around Haven that finding time to breathe is difficult enough! We're on a Spring Cleaning binge here at the Haven/TWC office...a HUGE thank you goes out to my wonderful volunteer staff that have helped in getting things organized--Evening, Mitch, Aimee, John. We're back on schedule with doing classes and such at the local meetups (which are still going very well!). We began an interesting "experiment" using Zener cards to test everyone's sending and receiving abilities...ESP that is...at the local meetup last night. It was quite fascinating! So much is going on with Haven at this point...all of the different facets are really taking shape and taking off quite well. The Three Wise Cats Magickal Shoppe is constantly adding new products, so be sure to check it out. TWC and PERISH are also now on MySpace: TWC MySpace & PERISH MySpace. Feel free to add us! You can also add the Haven MySpace, too! More updates to come soon!!

Well, since Mau has left us and the site maintenence to yours truly, things have been slow to update. We've recently switched hosting companies due to issues with the last one, and are only now getting things back in order. I will post more updates in the near future, so hang tight folks!!

It would seem that I haven't posted any updates in a while! But that doesn't mean things aren't progressing...and well, I might add!! With the initiative of our servant Knight, Paxus, and Squire, Koen, the Haven fight club has begun! First rule of Haven Fight Club, there is no Haven Fight Club. But, there is a Haven Sparring Club! Every other wednesday afternoon you'll find them sparring away in Sunset Park. I haven't personally made it out there yet, but from what I hear, it is a rousing success! It is all posted on the events page. Check it out!

We've successfully completed our first "silent auction". Thank you to the Guardians and all of the local Haven gang who made this one such a success! Keep your ears and eyes peeled for the next auction due to hit in April! And a huge thanks goes out to my best friend, Evening...without whom the auction would have never gotten off the ground!

Congrats seem to be in order--although belated! Two of our resident Elfs have little ones on the way! Trista and Ella are the proud mommies-to-be! Congrats to both of them and their hubbies, Corriander and Bear!

How about engagement congrats? Congrats to Tink and Greg on their recent engagement. And, in case I never mentioned it, Evening and Ron (date in August!).

Although it has been slow, Hauntd is doing her best in trying to get the New Orleans community back together. There isn't word when official meet-ups will start, but gatherings can be arranged for anyone in the NOLA area. For information, please contact me. Hauntd has intermittant internet service, so I will pass along any requests I get.

Those of you who have contacted me about prayer circles, please be a bit patient. I will get to your request shortly. With the hectic-ness around here, I've been lax to get to them. But they will ALL be addressed!

Growing rapidly! It would seem that our "little" Haven group in Vegas is not so little anymore. We're quickly outgrowing our latest meet-up place with an average of 25 persons at closed meets...and even more at open meets. We're trying to find another location, but it would seem very difficult to find a place accepting and accomadating that doesn't involve a personal residence and stays open late enough! Everyone hang in there...we'll all just have to sit real close together for a while yet! :)

Article on Witchvox. Many of you are familiar with the online site, Witchvox. Well, back in January, my very first submission to them was approved and posted in their articles section! Check out my grounding article here. I have several more that I will be submitting when I have the time...I'll keep everyone updated!

Haven made a brilliant showing at the Pagan Pride Day here in Las Vegas this month. I was personally unable to attend due to illness, but from what I hear it went very well! Glad to see everyone supporting the local Pagan Communities!

Haven Treasures, the division of Haven that offers you items of magick, mystery, and beauty has finally moved to the active stage. It has been a long time planning, but we now sell on Ebay and New Age Auctions. We are currently working on bringing an online store directly integrated into the web-site...it shouldn't be long now! For a limited time, any member of our online HOKS group will receive a 10% discount on any auction won! Also, we are donating any proceeds (above and beyond running costs) to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Haven in Las Vegas is trying their best to be involved in as many Community events as possible...after all, we are here to serve the Community! Our next big event is we will be holding an Open Meet-and-Greet at the LV Ren Faire in a couple weeks! Take a look at our events calendar for all our events!

And on a final note... I want to tell everyone in Haven, all members, my wonderful Counsil, all the students and meet-up members, thank you so much for all your effort and support! We wouldn't be such a success without all of you!

We had a great time at our celebration on July 29th! Thank you all who came out, cooked, brought provisions, or just showed up with friends! I had a wonderful time and not one I will soon forget!

We've begun our classes for the Las Vegas area! We've already begun our Grounding/Shielding classes...and are compiling a course list for the next couple of months! Keep in mind that if you are interested in attending the classes at the closed meets, you must attend an Open Meet first! For any additional information, email HHLP

Our State Reps in OH and UT are working on getting local meet-ups going...but we need your help! If you are in the OH or UT areas and would like to attend a meet-up, please email: meet-up and please be sure to specify where you live.

We have so much going on around Haven that it is difficult to put it all down! We have charity events, fundraisers, a newsletter....just to name a few! Keep your eyes peeled for further updates!

IIn our efforts to continue to benefit and help the Community, Haven has set up a Prayer Circle program.

We now officially have six separate chapters that span the entire US... HavenEast, HavenMidSouth, HavenMidWest, HavenNorthCentral, HavenSouth, and HavenWest. These are all in addition to our main Haven group as well.

 

We've gained two new State Reps for Haven... Lucian (UT) and Skye (OH). Welcome aboard guys!

Haven's Las Vegas meet-ups are moving to one Wednesday a month and one Thursday a month. We hope by doing this we can better accomodate some of the local members.

 

We've Re-Vamped (pun intended!) the Haven House, Nox Noctis Domus. We now include all Kin and it is not just restricted to the Las Vegas Area. I will be updating the site soon to reflect the recent changes. Until then, anyone interested can feel free to email me or apply to the initiate group at HavenVamps_and_Kin.

Our community continues to grow by leaps and bounds... we are now reaching the 700 member mark as we just pass our one year anniversary. Thank you to all of our members!

 

Thanks to everyone who came out (in Las Vegas) for our Haven one year anniversary party(s). We celebrated with our weekly meet at the Luxor on the strip and then at Hauntd's House for a more intimate party. It was a great time had by all...thanks to all who showed up!

We officially now have banners to share with anyone who would like to post them on their site/exchange. Please contact marketing for details.

Finally updated the Counsil link and page... thanks to my wonderful friend Heretic pointing out that I still hadn't updated it.

Added the Events/Calender link and page...now everyone can know the Haven schedule!

For those who don't know already, Haven has officially started a separate Western Chapter. The Las Vegas, NV area and the Western states have always been just another part of the Main Haven group, but since the main group has grown so large (over 500 members now!) we decided that we should start a separate group for the Western states so that particular event posts and such don't get lost in the shuffle on the main group! Feel free to check out the new group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HavenWest/

Some of the Haven Counsil are planning a short trip out to the MidWest (Chicago namely) sometime this spring to visit with the MidWest Chapter...we'll keep you posted on the details.

Class is in session! Well, soon to be anyway! After nearly a year in operation, Haven is finally going to begin classess to the local community... those who attend meets (Las Vegas) will hear all the details as they occur. We are still working on plans for online class activity... so stay tuned!

Stay tuned for the link to the Haven livejournal... just in case any one really wants to know what your webmistress is up to in her daily life....

Lady Night ^..^
