Multi-Purpose Room Guidelines

You are responsible for setting up and tearing down all tables and chairs and returning them to their proper storage area.  If you prefer, you can hire our custodial staff for an additional fee (see previous page for fees) to set up and tear down the tables and chairs for you.
