NOTICE TO THE COMMUNITY – CLEANING OF WAKAS HALL Dear Community Members,
This is a reminder that there are standards for cleaning Wakas Hall after sports or other events. On many, recent occasions the hall has been left dirty, tables not cleaned or put away, kitchen not cleaned up, floors not swept, etc. It is not acceptable to leave the hall dirty for the next person to use it. Generally, it is the morning Breakfast Club who uses the hall the following morning. Kids should not have to eat in a messy or dirty environment.
Those who don’t follow the Wakas Hall policy will have their privileges revoked from the use of the hall and will have to submit another deposit and cleaning fees before being allowed to use the hall again.
Thank you, Roger Nopper Band Manager
