Club Reservations Policy
On several occasions the club has incurred losses due to members who had made reservations without paying,
and then not showing up for the event.
When you are making a reservation for an event, we ask that you make a reservation with, and send a check
to, our director Agatha Mills. It has happened that some members made reservations, without sending a
check, and then don't show up.
Your Board would like to point out that as a result of reservations, commitments are being made by the Club.
In other words, if you make a reservation for the Queen's Ball for two people without sending a check, and do
not show up, the Club is still responsible for paying $35 for each member who did not come ($25 paid by
member, plus $10 additional which the Club paid for each member.) This is a loss of $70 for your Club.
It has been decided for future events, that unless your reservation is accompanied or immediately followed
by a check, no reservation will be made. In other words, if there is NO check, there is NO reservation.
Please ensure the timely receipt of the check; commitments will only be made based on the checks
received. If your check is received after the deadline, a $10 late fee will be assessed to your reservation..
In case you have made a paid reservation and are then prevented from coming, the club will refund your
money, provided the Reservations Chair receives the notification of cancellation before the commitment is
made.
