For "smaller" events, set up -25 chairs, "larger", start with -45 chairs (It is generally better to have to put our more chairs as needed than to have a lot of empty chairs at the start of a performance). ❑ If a projector or other technology (sound system, for example) is needed, place a table and extension cords in appropriate location. ❑ Set up projector and or sound system, if needed. If using piano, unlock piano (Back up key is "hidden" in the basement, in the far right-hand corner, attached by a magnet to the side of the breaker box). ❑ Optional: place battery operated candles in the windows (it's nice at night; maybe not necessary in the daytime). ❑ Set up a table for refreshments. ❑ Use the stretchy LCC tablecloths to cover the folding table. ❑ Include a "Donation Box". Do not write a suggested amount. Place trash & recycle bins near refreshment table. If using the Brita water urns, fill early to allow time to trickle through and refill several times. ❑ If serving coffee or tea, put out stir sticks, sugar/sweetener, etc. ❑ Put out napkins and paper plates. ❑ Put out the food. ❑ Adjust lighting and ceiling fans for comfort/mood. ❑ If needed, set up table for performer sales items such as CDs. As with all folding tables, use a stretchy LCC tablecloth to cover.
