What is the Fair Havens Season Site Committee?
The Fair Havens Season Site Committee is made up of a small group of people who reside on Fair Havens Season Sites. Our goal is to help provide entertaining activities, facilitate fund raising events, and generally assist in communication and relations between the Season Siters and Fair Havens Ministries.
This year we are implementing new ways to assist Season Siters including:
- Trailer Rental list
- Tool "Library"
- Season Siter's Marketplace
- Better Communication
For 2023, the Season Site Committee consists of the following people:
John Ashton
Pat Ashton
Lorne Atkins (Chair)
David Lewis (Treasurer)
Dorothy Lewis
Phil Medler (Vice-Chair)
Sue Medler
Jean Ostrander
Rae-Lynn Rosefield

Laurie Atkins (Stockroom Manager, POS)
Dave & Dorothy Lewis (Live Auction Managers)
Frank & Laura Crampton (Silent Auction Managers)
