This is part of my New Haven Social Club series where I try to profile different options for people to get involved in something they might enjoy and meet other people.
Make Haven is a social club and workshop space for members to use. It’s part of the Maker Movement – sort of a DIY for techies movement. Make Haven started 3 years ago and currently has 39 members. It has been located in the former Russell Club on State Street for the past two years.
Come check out Make Haven. They have an open house every Tuesday from 7pm to about 9pm.
