Community Concert Hall Alcohol Service Policy

The Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College (hereafter referred to as the "Facility") holds a license to serve alcoholic beverages.  Where service or sale of alcoholic beverages is requested at a scheduled event, contact the Director.  Approval is not automatic; the Director reserves the right to approve or refuse any request for service of alcoholic beverages in the facility.  Unless otherwise requested and approved, the Facility will operate a concessions station and bar during events.  Costs will be covered by renter (concessions prices) or by customer on a sale-by-sale basis.

The following requirements must be met by those requesting service of alcohol in the Facility when concessions are not sold by the Facility (i.e. fundraisers for renters, private parties, etc.):
