RULES AND SUGGESTIONS FOR USE OF SCHROEDER TOWN HALL

*DO NOT PARK ANY VEHICLES IN FRONT OF FIRE HALL DOORS*

THERE IS NO SMOKING ALLOWED IN ANY PART OF THE BUILDING

Be considerate of neighbors—reduce the volume of music after midnight!

Heat: The heating system has 2 modes. “Unoccupied”, which sets the heat at 55 degrees, and “Occupied” which sets the heat at 70 degrees. There is a switch next to the kitchen door to change the mode. If using the heat, it will take approximately 20 minutes for the room to heat up. Using the ceiling fans will help distribute heat faster.

Building is not air-conditioned; ceiling fans will help on hot days. Fan control is located to left of light switches. Blinds kept closed in summer keep the room cooler. Keep blinds open on sunny winter days for SOLAR heating—it helps!

Equipment in the hall includes nineteen heavy brown 72” x 30” folding tables, one shorter table 48″ x 30′; two 48” round tables; nine long white light weight tables 96″ x 30″; four white light weight square card tables 34″ x 34″; 62 cushioned stacking chairs (dimensions: chair back from top of seat to top of back 15″; width of seat back 17 1/2″ x depth of back 1 1/4″.

Oven electric range, three basin sink with spray faucet, dish drainer and tray, flatware drainer, refrigerator with freezer compartment, but NO dishwasher.

There are 12 plug ins in the kitchen. Each is on its own circuit. Each circuit will handle 20 amps, which is equivalent to 2400 watts. Therefore, each plugin can handle only one high wattage appliance, such as a coffee maker, toaster, griddle. Check the wattage on your appliances to determine which ones can share a plug in. For instance, a toaster and a crockpot.

50 Cup coffee urn. Brews full amount in 30 minutes. And two “Mr. Coffee” drip type coffee makers.

Tables and chairs must be wiped off and put back where found. No furniture may be taken outside without prior permission.

Lift tables and chairs—do not slide them—they will scratch the floor.
