| Guidelines and Fees for Building Use |
1. Because All Souls Unitarian Church is a not-for-profit organization, we can only rent to not-for-profit groups. A tax ID number
may be required by groups to ensure not-for-profit status.
2. All autonomous groups and standing committees of the church must contact the Office Administrator for calendar availability for
meeting date, time, and room. This must be done at least five days in advance for Monday through Friday meetings and two weeks in advance
for Saturday and Sunday meetings.
3. All church activities should end by 9 PM on weekdays. On Saturday the building must be vacated and secured by 6 PM. The security
person is not available on Sunday after the coffee hour dish washing; therefore, no activities are to last past 2 PM on Sundays. (For
exceptions, see item 5.)
4. Use of the church facility by non-church groups is not permitted past 9 PM on weekdays, 6 PM on Saturday, or 2 PM on Sunday
without the Office Administrator approval.
5. The church facility is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM until 9 PM and Saturday 9 AM until 6 PM for all groups. Use of the
church facility by church groups after 6 PM Saturday or 2 PM on Sunday must be approved by the Office Administrator. Use by church
groups after these hours on Saturday and Sunday is permitted only with key access.
6. The rental of Religious Education classrooms to non-church groups that meet on a regular basis on a weekday must be cleared first
by the Office Administrator and also through the Religious Education Director.
7. Beverages and food are permitted only in the Social Hall, Kitchen, Beattie Room, and Beattie Room Kitchen. No smoking is permitted
in the building.
8. Only autonomous groups as defined in the church manual or standing church committees may use the kitchen equipment. If using the
kitchen, check with the Chairman of the Housekeeping Committee for specific procedures. Kitchen equipment (coffeepots, etc.) must not be
moved to other areas of the church. No one may use the dishwasher except the custodian and security persons.
9. When food preparation is required, a professional caterer must be used. The caterer’s name must be given to the Office
Administrator. The caterer is required to bring prepared food and to furnish all dishes and equipment. Fourteen eight-foot tables and
chairs belonging to the church may be used. The caterer is required to remove all dirty dishes and all trash. Please inform your caterer of
these rules. No alcoholic beverages are to be served. Reception fees include Kitchen and Social Hall.

10. Any group not defined in the church manual as an autonomous group or a standing committee of the church will be assessed the fees
listed for non-church member rental groups for use of any portion of the building. The fees listed may be adjusted or waived by the
Activities Scheduling Committee and/or with consultation of the minister and Board of Trustees.
11. Any group using the building is liable for damages. All non-church groups, excluding annual contract groups previously served, will
be assessed a $50.00 refundable damage deposit payable four weeks in advance of the event. Payments can be received through the mail or
may be delivered in person to the church office. The church office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M.to 3:00 P.M.and other hours
by chance.

fees at the rate of $10.00/hour with a minimum charge of $10.00. When applicable this will be reflected in the contract. If the group has
an annual contract, these special services can be arranged on an as-needed basis under this guideline, and a separate billing for the
custodial services will be presented to the group. Checks for these types of special services should be made payable to All Souls Unitarian
Church and include “Custodial Services” in the check memo. All arrangements must be made in advance with the Office Administrator.
