Common House Kitchen Use Policy 2002

GUIDELINES FOR USE OF COMMON HOUSE/ AND KITCHEN/DINING FACILITIES AT WASATCH COMMONS (for functions that are not primarily Wasatch Commons Events)                

If you are sponsoring a gathering/group/event that is not PRIMARILY a Wasatch Commons Event (more than 50% of the participants are NON Wasatch Commons residents), we ask that you use the following guidelines and checklists to help things go more smoothly for everyone.

    *  Be immediately available to your group AT ALL TIMES.  If you find it necessary to leave the event/gathering,  you must designate another Wasatch Commons resident to cover for you while you are unavailable.
    *  There is a nominal FACILITY USE FEE of:
    1)  $5  per hour, OR    
    2)  $1 per person, if more than 20 persons are attending
    This will help cover operating expenses (utilities, supplies, etc.).  Please make payment to Wasatch Dining committee.
*  Please supply ALL YOUR OWN food and beverages.
    *   Please ask before using any of the  food and beverages already in the facility (on shelves, in pantries, in the freezer & refrigerator).
    * You are ultimately responsible for making sure that the Common House is left  CLEAN after the event.  Wasatch Commons residents do NOT have the responsibility to set up, cook, or provide clean- up services for your event.
    * You may use all dishes, eating utensils, kitchen & cooking equipment, etc. that are available in the facility.  
    * You will be held responsible for replacing and/or repairing any broken or damaged items that occur during your sponsored event (you may want to approach your group regarding this).
    * Please remind your group that the Common House is an extension or all of our homes.  Residents may be coming in and out of the Common House for a variety of reasons (laundry, bringing in groceries for the next day’s meal, checking menus, picking up mail, etc.).  We would like to observe mutual respect and friendliness in our interactions.
    * Remind your guests that the Common House is a NON smoking facility.  Show them where they may smoke (rear/south side of  the common house).
    * The kids’ playroom and outdoor play equipment may be used when there is adult supervision AT ALL TIMES.  Kids are NOT allowed upstairs.    
    * Food and/or beverages are allowed in the dining room and kitchen ONLY (not in the kids room, sitting room, or upstairs).

* Please review the checklists  (located on the other side of this form) with your guests.
