To the rear of the same large room, we will set the round tables to accommodate your lunches. Buffets will be pre-set in the foyer outside your session room, allowing your guests to select their lunch items and return to the pre-set rounds to enjoy their lunch.

Function Space Rental
By utilizing just the one very spacious room for your program, we are able to offer the meeting space to you at no charge.
Alternate Dates
Alternate dates available to accommodate your program are July 29-August 1, 2007. Over these dates your room rates would be offered at $129.00 single or double occupancy in our main building, in 2005 terms. We anticipate no more than a five percent (5%) increase annually to these rates
Function space over these alternate dates is offered at $500.00 per day. Meeting space would be double set like originally proposed program. Should space become available to place your lunch in a separate room, we would do so at no additional room rental charge.
