I suspect it may have to do with whether the event is restricted to Village's residents ONLY, or if it is open to the public. Our College Alumni club is open to the public so residents from the surrounding communities (like Stone Crest and Del Webb) can join too. And since we are open to the "public", we actually have to pay rent for the use of the Rec Center for all of our activities. So unless those ballroom events put a check station to verify Villages resident cards and turn away those who didn't have one, they would also have to pay rent. That may be why there is a charge. Just guessing, but it makes sense.
