Strawberry Social - June 25

We are happy to announce our first major post-COVID event. Always popular, the Strawberry Social celebrates the beginning of summer and provides an opportunity for friends and neighbours to become re-acquainted after a long winter (or, in this case, a long COVID period). And what’s more delicious than fresh strawberries to mark the occasion?

All proceeds from this year’s event will be going to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund.

Our new online presence

Those of you who have been affiliated with the Centre for some time are aware of the issues we've had creating and maintaining an online presence so that our community members (you) can easily access the calendar of activities and be made aware of any special events coming up. As a volunteer-run organization, spending the big bucks to get a website designed and managed is a no-go, however there are less expensive (i.e. free) options, and this is one. Hopefully the folks at Blogger will maintain this capability for some time to come, but in the meantime, we're back.

As always, feel free to add your name to our email list of Friends of the Centre in order to receive periodic updates on the various goings on at DWLC.

TESTING

Rentals

The Darling White Lake Centre is available to rent for special events, meetings, family get-togethers, small commercial activities, and so on. The following facility user fee schedule applies.

Rentals

For private (i.e. not open to the public) events not requiring the use of the kitchen, the fee is $65 per calendar day (or part). The rental fee is $100 per calendar day (or part) if the kitchen facilities will be used in support of the event. For any event expecting more than 60 attendees the rental fee will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, prior approval of the Executive Committee is required for any rentals.

NOTE: If alcohol is to be served/available at the event, the renter MUST obtain a Special Occasions Permit (here) and provide a copy to the Executive Committee no later than 1 week prior to the event. Failure to do so will result in the reservation being cancelled. Both the approved Rental Application and the SOP must be posted at the Centre during the event.

Public activities

Community events that are open to the public, such as dinners, euchre, yoga, coffee hub, general meetings, etc. are charged $2 per person per event.

These fees are payable to the Darling White Lake Centre by the hall's renter or the event's sponsor.

The Centre is to be left in a clean condition with all interior and exterior elements in the same condition as they were found. Should that not occur additional cleaning and/or damage charges may be levied.

The organizer(s) of any public event/activity must complete a DWLC User Agreement prior to commencing any such activity. For a copy of the User Agreement, click here.
