AMENITY RENTAL POLICY

Pursuant to the purposes of the association (as stated in the C&R Section 1b to promote pleasure, social recreation and sports activities for it’s members), the members in good standing be allowed to reserve the clubhouse, pool or pavilion without a rental fee to host an activity that benefits the “safety, health, or welfare” of our membership, provided that said activity is open to all members/guests in good standing of the association with or without participation fee, with the exception that if a member, in good standing wants to reserve the clubhouse, pool or pavilion for a private event not open to all members of the association , this member shall have the option to “bump” the activity and will be responsible for the rental fees that are currently in effect. In all cases the member who reserves the space is accountable for the behavior of the participants and all damages, should any occur, and be responsible for set-up and clean-up.

Rental of clubhouse facility will be based on availability. All parties must be scheduled and approved by the Association manager and are subject to the following fees and regulations.

Parties may be scheduled during regular operating hours by a member of the Association in good standing, as defined in the White Birch Lakes Recreational Association by Laws. Use is subject to the safety and capacity as established by the Clare County Health Department.

There will be a security deposit of $50.00 for each party. The sponsoring member is responsible for clean up and any damage to the facilities that may occur.

No alcoholic beverages can be sold at a function.

Clean up responsibility to the said member shall be the removal of all personal property, equipment and decorations that said member, or his/her guests brought to the clubhouse. If the clean up of the facility was not done to the satisfaction of the Association manager, then all or a portion of the security deposit will be retained for proper clean up.

Said member acknowledges that nothing in this agreement shall preclude the Association from pursuing any and all remedies traditionally reserved in law and equity, including, but not limited to, suits for damage or liability suffered by the Association.

A master calendar shall be kept up by the Association manager that contains the schedule of events of the Association and the dates and time the facilities may be available for personal and private use by a member and his/her guests on a first come first served basis. The Association recommends that arrangements be made as far ahead as possible and every effort will be made to accommodate your needs. However, renting out the clubhouse facilities is a secondary function at the clubhouse and the Association will not obligate itself to more than a 60-day (sixty) commitment.
