Saturday Afternoon Clubhouse

clean up
Please designate at least three (3) people to be your 'cleaning crew' after your event. We have priced the building rental to make it affordable, so we must depend on you to help us with returning it to the condition in which you found it.

1. The Clubhouse DOES NOT provide trash or recycling containers. Please plan on bringing your own, with trash liners, and plan on taking your trash with you at the end of your event.

2. Please provide a container for collecting recyclables. If you can't dispose of them, leave them neatly contained at the bottom of the back stairs and we will handle them. It is recommended you provide a compost container, should you be using the kitchen.

3. The kitchen must be completely cleaned after your event and all food removed. Do not leave anything on the counters. The Clubhouse does not provide utensils or plates and we recommend using disposable/reusable products. Plan on bringing clean up towels and cleaners with you.

4. The floors must be wet mopped, then dry mopped after your event. Beer and wine spills are especially difficult to clean up over time, so please make sure you've be thorough. Mops and dusters are found in the back hallway.

5. Make sure all doors and windows are closed and all lights are off (day or night) when you leave the building after your event. Do not hesitate to contact Lisa or Scott should you have any problems with locking the building. The door combination is provided for your convenience; however, we ask that you do NOT share the combination. It is changed within 12 hours after each event at the Clubhouse.


We greatly appreciate your help in maintaining and preserving this beautiful historic building.

taking care of the clubhouse  BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR EVENT
The Clubhouse was built in 1885 from old growth redwood. While it looks strong, it has many weaknesses due to its age - in decorating and cleaning the building before and after your event, this must be taken into account so as not to cause any damage to this wonderful historic building.


set up / decorations
1. Our walls are made of soft sand plaster, covered with several layers of paint. Do not attaching ANYTHING to the walls. Tape, nails, staples and tacks cause extensive damage over time.

2. The woodwork (trim, window sashes, wainscotting) is old growth redwood as well. You ARE allowed to use masking tape (we especially appreciate blue painters tape) to attach decorations, but please do not use staples or nails.

3. If you must secure something to the floors (e.g. electric cable, etc.) please do NOT use duct tape, scotch tape or any highly sticky tape. Again, blue painters tape is preferred.

4. While confetti is a fun decorating idea, it is extremely difficult to clean up after events. Please DO NOT use any confetti.

5. Candles MAY be used, but only is proper holders which will contain the wax. Colored was will stain floors and linens, so white is preferred.

6. The sound system is provided as an addition to your rental. Please designate one (1) person to be responsible for seeing that all mics and cables are accounted for after your event AND that the sound system is turned off, as well. Contact Lisa if you intend to use the sound system as training will be needed.

7. If you use the movie screen, please return it to its original position after your event. Again, ask at your walk through how to do this properly.

8. The lights and fans are expensive to replace, so we ask that you please take extreme caution when operating these and ASK how before attempting to change anything.

9. When setting up chairs and tables (and returning them), please be VERY MINDFUL and avoid scratching or dragging them across the floors or against the walls.
