            The United Methodist Church desires to make its facilities available to the community as one of its service ministries.  A modest user fee will enable the church to maintain these facilities in good condition for other groups and individuals.

THE FOLLOWING POLICIES APPLY TO USE OF THE PREMISES:

            1.  First priority shall be given to groups and programs of the United Methodist Church.  IF A

                 FUNERAL SHOULD COME UP, WE WILL TRY TO WORK WITH YOU ON A SOLUTION

                 THAT WILL WORK FOR BOTH OF US.

            2.  Facilities are only available to non-profit and/or educational groups, and private individuals for non-

                 commercial use.

            3.  There will be no fee charge to any United Methodist Church wishing to use our facilities.  A small

                 donation toward replacing of consumable items may be given if they wish to.

            4.  ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING OR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES SHALL BE ALLOWED ON

                 THE PREMISES. 

            5.  No equipment shall be loaned or removed from the premises, including but not

                 limited to tables, chairs and dishes.

            6.  You are to make sure the building is locked up before leaving, not to loan out the key or make

                 copies of the key.  We prefer someone always be in the church when it is unlocked.  If you lose the

                 key, we will keep the key deposit of $10.00.

            7.  Damage deposit may be required at the church’s discretion.  The facility will be restored to the

                 condition in which it was found.  Any damage will be repaired at the cost of the renter.

SOUND SYSTEM:  Only trained persons may use our sound system.  Arrangements for training must allow at least one week in advance of the event.

ALL BASEBOARDS AND THERMOSTATS TURNED DOWN, LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND ALL DOORS MUST BE LOCKED BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
