I thought that Villagers could use the rec. center meeting rooms without charge. Anyone out there have any input as to why Villagers are being charged for the use of their recreation facilities. Do all of the large clubs get charged for the use of meeting rooms?

Also, there is a $75 refundable cleaning deposit. If the room is clean when you leave, you will get your cleaning deposit back.
It is normal to be charged for use of the large rooms. The card rooms to my knowledge are free to Villagers. In order to use the large rooms for free, you need to become an official Village Club. That would mean you would hold monthly get-togethers in a large rec center room. In order to become an official club you will need to go to one of the regional recreation centers and speak with the person behind the desk. They will explain the procedures and paperwork involved.
