If you are interested in renting the Auditorium, the Event Room, or the entire facility, to check for date and time availability. After obtaining your information, we will issue a rental contract. Upon receipt of payment of the security deposit, one fourth of the agreed upon rental rate, and the signed contract, the event will be confirmed on our calendar.
