PROCEDURES |
|
A small band of dedicated unpaid volunteers has been working hard to make it possible for the Station to accommodate you. We have thought carefully to work out procedures to make for good events, and to do so in a way that a non-profit like NPT can sustain. We have much more construction work to pay for before the entire renovation is complete. And even after that, the Station will need an ongoing income to sustain its long-term maintenance, repair, gradual improvement (like a red roof, eventually), historic interpretation, wages, utilities, insurance, and its support of civic uses. We have an obligation to make a businesslike use of the Station’s ability to host events — so that the Station can be sustained in the long term.
The Event Rental Contract form that you can download on this page reflects those procedures. These contract provisions are important to a successful event, and will call for your initials on each page. |
