Being Good Tenants:
Please do not bring any food or drink into the building(not even to dispose of in trash cans). Bottled water is okay so long as we don't leave bottles behind. We will be able to bring food into the fellowship hall and kitchen for special functions, such as our annual holiday dessert party, but please do not at other times bring food(or food related trash) into the building. Thanks for your help. We want to be good tenants for our new landlord.
