  • You may leave the main gate unlocked if the main door is locked; likewise, you may leave the main door unlocked if the main gate is locked

Equipment 

• Chairs - Stack all cushioned, non-folding chairs in stacks of four; fold all metal chairs and lean against wall in the corner
• Tables - Fold all tables and return them to the closet 
• Drumkit - Return drum kit to original position (on the stage), we cannot leave this equipment in either side rooms
• Sound and media equipment - The default is to clean up the equipment, also double check with Tim or Andy if sound/media equipment can be left till Sunday
• Chair dolly (blue) - Do not leave it facing the exit or doors in case someone runs into it

Side Room with Staircase 

• Do not leave any equipment blocking the staircase, emergency equipment, or doors; if possible, leave the room as clear as possible
• The emergency exit door must be locked when leaving if unlocked at all -- always check to make sure it is locked

Cleaning 

• Floors - Sweep/vacuum the floors (vacuum is found upstairs, it is our vacuum)
• Restrooms - Please pickup all trash on the ground
• Trash - Always take out trash and replace using our trash bags
  • 33 gallons for the inner trash can downstairs
  • 13 gallons for Greek room trash can
  • Trash in the restrooms can be dumped into the larger trashcans in the Fellowship Hall to be taken out together
• Decorations - Leave in the Storage Room
  • If we leave it out, we risk any other people using the hall or room to do whatever with our decorations
  • Generally, rule of thumb is to clean up and tear down any decorations for any and all events
• Both side rooms and exits on each side of the stage need to be clear of equipment 

Lights

• Turn off ALL lights (upstairs, downstairs, all restrooms, hallway, kitchen, closets, ancillary lights)

Doors 

• Make sure our rooms upstairs are closed and locked, this means closing the door and tugging on them to make sure they're locked afterward
• Close ALL doors in the fellowship hall (leading upstairs, outside, and into the hallway)

Parking 

• Lock up all chains on the outside and gates
• Other than Friday, return any barriers in the parking lot that may have been moved to its original position

If your event is offsite, please supply your own utensils, plates, and cups. Whenever supplies are used, please note it down below. Please add any helpful comments for us to know, such as "there is only box of forks left" or "there is only half a stack of plates left".
