Large parties require an attendant to help with parking. Private renters contact Clubhouse Coordinator for names of potential attendants. For Dune Acres Social Committee parties please note that making arrangements for a parking attendant is the responsibility of the party committee; however, we have names if you need a suggestion. Notify clubhouse coordinator of the name of your parking attendant.

Attendant’s fee is covered by rental fee. We pay $25 for two hours or less, and $10 for each hour over two hours. Parking attendant fees are to be paid only by Bonnie Thomas, Social Committee Treasurer. Call Bonnie Thomas (787-8189) and tell her how many hours the attendant worked as well as name and address. She will mail a check. The fees for the parking attendant and the cleaning lady are included in the rental fees for private parties. Social Committee parties should budget $150 to cover these expenses.

Those who have contracted to use the Clubhouse, whether members of the Social Committee or private parties, may pick up keys at the Marshal’s Office. They should contact the Clubhouse Coordinator first, who will advise the Marshal’s Office of the person authorized to pick up the keys. AFTER LEAVING THE CLUBHOUSE RETURN KEYS IMMEDIATELY TO THE MARSHAL’S OFFICE. DO NOT KEEP THESE KEYS OVERNIGHT.

HEAT: Thermostats are located in the ladies restroom and on the post behind the outlet for the fire hose on the first floor....north room. If heat is needed, set thermostats at 70 degrees. Both thermostats must be turned up for proper circulation of heat. At end of event RETURN THERMOSTAT TO 50 DEGREES.

FIREPLACES: If you wish to have fires in the fireplaces, get permission from the Fire Chief. If using fireplaces make sure dampers are open…..test draw first with a match before lighting fires. Only the two fireplaces in the main 2^nd floor room can be used.

You must supply your own wood.

Make sure fires are completely out before leaving the building.

DO NOT USE WATER TO EXTINGUISH FIRES!

GROUND FLOOR FIREPLACES DO NOT WORK!!

If you use fireplaces, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to clean them out. Instructions in "After the Party" information.

FOLDING CHAIRS AND TABLES: These are stored in the second floor south storage room. Chairs are hanging on racks and must be replaced there after use. DO NOT ROLL RACKS out of storage room when setting up tables and chairs. Racks will mark the floor and the marks are difficult to remove. Tables should be carried and not dragged when being set up or replaced in storage.

DISHES, GLASSES SILVERWARE, ETC.: Check to see if any need to be washed before use. If so, follow directions on dishwasher--additional directions are on poster against the wall above dishwasher. Use ONLY POWDERED SOAP for dishwasher which is supplied in kitchen. DISHWASHER SOAP is in a tub to the right of the dishwasher-instructions for amount to be used are inside the tub. There are glasses, dishes, and silverware for 150 people.

TABLE LINENS: Tablecloths in a variety of patterns and sizes are available. Some are hanging in the pantry closet. Others are in large plastic tubs in shelves across from the dumb waiter. If tablecloths are used they must be washed, ironed, and promptly returned to the Clubhouse. (See Inventory Sheet)

There are dishcloths, oven mitts, and cloths to be used when draining the racks of dishes from the dishwasher. If used these must be washed and returned to the Clubhouse--or, to avoid a trip to the Clubhouse to return these items, you may wish to provide your own. A suggestion: You may provide your own terry beach towels for draining dishwasher racks on stainless table.

FOOD WARMER: Instructions for use are on laminated sheet on side of refrigerator.

HOT WATER HEATER: The hot water heater is electric and is turned on in the breaker box. Allow one hour of heating time if using the dishwasher.

COFFEE POTS: There are four electric coffee pots: two 100 cup, one 50 cup, and one 35 cup. (Suggested amount of coffee to use – for 35 cups use 2 cups coffee grounds, for 50 cups use 3 cups or 12 oz., for 100 cups use 6 cups of grounds. 5 cups of grounds = 16 oz.) There are two clean buckets in the kitchen reserved for carrying water to the second floor when using the larger pots. Use the coffee pots only for coffee and hot water. Turn all breakers on (2^nd and 3^rd floor) when making coffee on the second floor. This seems necessary in order for the plugs to work. The best plug to use is above the utility stand in the 2^nd floor south storage area.

REFRIGERATOR: Works best if turned on (in the breaker box) the day before you need it. Place the wood block from the door inside the refrigerator at the time it is turned on to be sure of knowing its location when the refrigerator is turned off after the party.

RANGE: Clubhouse Coordinator will light pilots. There are eleven pilots and all must be lit or there will be a strong odor of gas in the kitchen. Notify Clubhouse Coordinator if you will be using the stove and ovens.

TELEPHONE: A telephone is located in the kitchen on the side of the cupboard near the window facing the parking lot. Phone directories are in the drawer to the right of sink.

DUMB WAITER: To operate, push (on either floor) the black start button to raise or lower dumb waiter. If for any reason you wish to stop the dumb waiter on its way up or down, push in large red emergency button. To restart, pull red button out and push black button in. WARNING! Those using the dumb waiter should always call up or down to whoever might be loading or unloading to avoid someone’s arms being caught when it starts to move. IT HAS HAPPENED SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL. Make sure your caterer or hired kitchen help is aware of this potential danger.

PORTABLE SOUND SYSTEM: System and speakers are stored in the cupboards in the first floor north room.

PODIUM: Podium with microphone is stored on 2^nd floor south end.

WINDOWS: When opening windows, only open them about 30 degrees. If they are open too wide it is very difficult to close them. If a window resists when you attempt to close it, please don’t force it because the plastic gear and fittings will break. A simple solution is to remove the screen from the window next to it, reach out and give the window a gentle "shove" while using the crank to close the window. You are responsible for any cracking or breakage. Please close and lock all windows before leaving Clubhouse.

THIRD FLOOR: The third floor is not for use due to liability. The items stored there are also not to be removed and used.

Follow dishwasher instructions. Report any breakage on Inventory Sheet.

If there is too much garbage for the dumpsters, place in tied plastic bags in garbage cans inside the back door. DO NOT PUT THESE CONTAINERS OUTSIDE! The animals will scatter the contents everywhere! Please notify Clubhouse Coordinator if inside garbage cans are full and need to be put out for pickup.

DO NOT leave pop, beer, mixes, and liquor or paper products in the Clubhouse.

LINENS: If used, must be washed, ironed, and returned promptly. Inventory Sheet must be marked to show that linens will be returned.

TABLES AND CHAIRS: Clean and return to proper storage areas. CARRY chairs and tables to storage area and hang or place on racks. Never attempt to roll filled racks. They are extremely heavy and will DAMAGE THE FLOOR.

FLOORS: Sweep floors and pick up food scraps, napkins, straws, decorations, etc. as they tend to encourage bugs.

FIREPLACES: Avoid adding wood to the fires the last hour of the party. Allow the fire to go out naturally, leaving the damper open. NEVER ATTEMPT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH WATER! The next day, clean all wood and ashes from the fireplaces and close the dampers. Place cold ashes in a plastic bag and put in trash containers.

WINDOWS: All must be closed and locked. Do not open windows in restrooms. On second floor each window has two locks. Make sure both are locked. There is a pole with a hook in the kitchen at west window to assist in latching top window locks.
