2) If the date you wish to reserve is open, complete a registration form, read and sign user agreement, & return to CCDC with a $100 refundable event deposit and room fee. Room fees are calculated based on the entire reservation time, including time required for set up & clean up. Reservation forms may be emailed to info@cvilledesign.org; checks and user agreements can be mailed or dropped off at CCDC. Room reservations will not be confirmed until CCDC receives a completed copy of the registration form, signed user agreement, event deposit, and room fee.
