CONFIGURATION	DESCRIPTION and RENTAL FEE
	Configuration: Theater Style (Basic Room Set Up) The basic set up for the room is theater style seating for about 80 people, a lectern and microphone, two tables at the front, one flip chart easel with paper, two large tables (36" W x 90" L) at the side of the room for display or refreshments, a projection screen, and a water fountain. Rental Fee: Free
	Configuration: Tables for Group Discussion Eight people can sit comfortably around two tables pushed together. The room can easily accommodate up to eight groupings of two tables each (providing group discussion space for 64 people), but more is a squeeze. This configuration includes the lectern and large tables at the front and side of the room. Rental Fee: $50
	Configuration: Large Rectangle Specify the number of people in your audience and we will create a suitably sized open rectangle or square of tables. A maximum of 30 people is recommended, after which the rectangle becomes too large to be useful. This configuration includes the lectern and large tables at the front and side of the room. Rental Fee: $50
	Configuration: Reception Style This is a very flexible configuration. You can have group tables for guests to sit at or not. Tables for food can be placed in the center of the room or along the side walls, and bar tables can be set up across a corner. We will leave some chairs around the edge of the room. You decide what you need! Rental Fee: $50
