What to expect

For Fellowship-related activities, rooms are assigned on a first-come-first-serve basis. If the Fellowship can not accommodate your activity/meeting, you will be notified. Otherwise your group will be assigned a room. If the specific room you are requesting is not available, your group will be be assigned a comparable room. Two weeks of room assignments are posted outside the main entrance to the CARE Building; and a six week calendar is posted in the Office/Library.

You will have specific responsibilities for leaving the room clean, garbage free and furniture arranged for the next room use. If you are not familiar with the Fellowship's Building Use Policy, please ask the office for a copy.

Coffee and tea pots are available for your use by request. When your event ends, you (or your caterer) are responsible for clearing the rooms of all food, beverages and garbage. Janitorial supplies are provided. For rentals that include kitchen privileges, a portion of the shared refrigerator and freezer space is available.

Equipment: Easels, TV/VCR, pianos, and sound room equipment options are available on request.

Smoking: Allowed only outside buildings. Please, use ashtray receptacles.

Your group will assume all responsibilities. Alcohol can not be sold unless you have a license from the State ABC Board (located in Raleigh).
