CLUBHOUSE USAGE PROCEDURES
- When the Clubhouse Chairperson confirms the booking, the renter will sign a Usage Agreement and submit separate checks for the usage fee and deposit. Checks should be made payable to SHOA
- Prior to scheduled use, the renter is responsible for arranging to obtain keys from the Clubhouse Chairperson.
- The renter must return the keys to the Clubhouse Chairperson immediately after the event. A $25 late fee will be deducted from the deposit if the clubhouse keys are not promptly returned to the Clubhouse Chairperson.
- A Clubhouse Committee member will inspect the clubhouse after the key is returned. If it has been properly cleaned and there is no damage, the deposit checks will be returned.
