Clubs and organizations in Village now exempt from pay as you go rentals

The POA board of directors backed off the pay as you go rentals for the Woodlands and the Coronado Center for established Village organizations. The Village Players brought it to the boards attention that changing the way they've done business without warning was fiscally harmful to most Village organizations especially organizations that depend on ticket sales.
Stephanie Stone, director of recreation in the Village, sent out a letter last month telling clubs and organizations they would have to pay for rentals upon signing a contract. Previously, the clubs and organizations were billed for the rentals. The monthly billing allowed time for ticket sales to pay for rentals such as rehearsal space and tech services for plays.
The only reason for the change had been the cost of billing. All the clubs and organizations had paid for their rentals.
New rentals without an established track record will have to follow the pay as you go policy.
