Jackie Robinson

So I checked out the Jackie Robinson Auditorium, which is the room I believe we should use. Sounds like the largest. It is $48/hour so for 7 hours will be $336 with a refundable security deposit of $254.00, meaning we pay $590.00 now. I have never seen it and don’t know about the tables and chairs but can make a call there tomorrow. Obviously much less expensive. Our date is available as of now, as is most of December Thoughts?
