A flat $50 facilities fee applies to all rentals. This covers removal of tables and chairs and disposal of binned refuse after your event, you don’t need to handle this yourself.
Certificate of Liability
A Certificate of Liability Insurance is required for all events. It must list the event date, time, and the SCC physical address (276 East Napa Street, Sonoma, CA 95476). The certificate is due the week before your event.
Many renters are already covered by an existing homeowner’s policy. If you’re not, you can buy a one-time event policy online. Our link to The Event Helper prefills the Center’s information and sends the certificate directly to us:

In keeping with federal protections around the freedom of expression, the Community Center does not discriminate in its dealings with potential or confirmed rental events, save in instances where a potential renter’s business or values stand in direct opposition to the mission of the Community Center or the rules governing 501(c)3 tax-exempt organizations. As such, the Community Center expresses no affiliation with or endorsement of events organized by paying third parties on its premises.
