and the number of people, our hourly rate goes from $25/hour to $150/hour. We don’t have a policy for rentals, but we do use a comprehensive Rental Agreement and require a Certificate of Insurance that covers the guest, their guests and the museum. We recommend
Duuo, via our insurance provider the Co-operators. </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">(<a href="http://www.duuo.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">http://www.duuo.ca</span></a>).</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I am writing on behalf of the Princeton Museum. We are increasingly being asked by community groups for use of our museum for their events. So far we have been "winging it," but we have reached a point where we want
to articulate a policy for the use of our museum. Rather than reinventing the wheel I was wondering if any of you museums have copies of community use policies that I could refer to when formulating our own policy. If you could send me some current policies
I would be most grateful.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
