Fair Haven minutes recount years of care and finance
A long stream of minutes from Fair Haven chronicles finances, farewells, and policy changes from 1925 to 1954. Entries note deficits and surpluses, board resignations, and appointments, as well as upgrades like gas heating, an elevator proposal, and a switch to monthly fees for residents. The record highlights leadership by Mr. and Mrs. Van Mersbergen and ongoing community support and repairs.
