"All the comforts of home and more! Our time at the Co-op was better than I could of imagined. The space is comfortable, with a beautiful large table to sprawl across if needed. The room is spacious and open, easy access to the bathroom and wonderful, healthy and tasty (and not so healthy if you choose) food. Besides all the qualities of the space the staff is friendly and helpful." "Thank you, thank you! The space was perfect and comfortable. Having all day access to the deli and groceries was fantastic! The staff was friendly and accommodating to work with. I will ask to use this space again!" "A great room for community use, so comforting and warm. The tea and coffee were very much appreciated. Thanks so much for the opportunity to use this room!"

Use Policy
The Keweenaw Cooperative Community Room is available for use to members of our community. The following guidelines should answer most of your questions about use of the room.

Who can use it
Groups and organizations needing a space for community meetings (e.g. garden clubs, service organizations, etc) are welcome to use the Community Room. The space is not intended for commercial use, promoting a business, educational seminars or classes (except those sponsored by the Keweenaw Co-op), or for any event for which a fee will be charged.

Allowing a group to use the Community Room does not in any way constitute an endorsement by the Keweenaw Cooperative Board of Directors, Keweenaw Cooperative management, or Keweenaw Cooperative staff of that groups beliefs, and no claim to that effect nor claim of Keweenaw Cooperative sponsorship may be used explicitly or implicitly, in advertising.

Cost
There is no charge for the use of the Community Room.

Availability
The Community Room is available for use during the Co-op’s normal store hours, from 10am to 8pm Mon-Sat, and 10am to 5pm Sunday. We ask that groups finish by 7:45pm Mon-Sat and 4:45 on Sunday so the room will be vacated by closing time. There is a 3-hour time limit on the use of the room, unless otherwise approved by the Communications Coordinator.

First priority for use of the space is given to the Co-op's educational programming, store, and Board needs. For this reason the Co-op cannot provide a permanent or continuous meeting space for any organization. Organizations may schedule only one meeting at a time.

Room Use Guidelines

• Food and drink are permitted provided that all items are from the Keweenaw Co-op Deli or Market. All items should be paid for at the register prior to bringing them to the Community Room.
• No alcoholic beverages are permitted. The only exceptions would be a Keweenaw Co-op presented class or tasting.
• No amplified music is permitted.
• Persons attending meetings in the Keweenaw Co-op Community Room must use street parking. Please notify meeting attendees of this when sending out information about your meeting.
• The room must be left clean and in the same condition as prior to use.
• The Keweenaw Co-op reserves the right to ask any Community Room user to leave if they violate any of these rules or if, in the opinion of the Co-op’s manager on duty, the user’s activities pose a threat to the safety of Co-op members or shoppers or are in violation of the law.

Thanks in advance for your responsible use of this community resource.
