EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009
THERE WILL NO LONGER BE ANY VENDOR TABLES.

Vendors will be allowed (based on
availability) to schedule a room to conduct sales of a product and must comply
within our policy – (see policy on attached page).

Vendors and other outside groups providing a
service should be reminded that they also have the ability (for a fee) to run
an ad in The New Hampshire or contact Granite Square Station to have flyers put
in student mailboxes

The fee for a small room (207, 203, 302, 304,
330, 332, 334, 336, 338, and 340) is $200 per day – regardless of how many
hours are scheduled and includes parking in C Lot for one vehicle. Fees
for larger rooms will be determined by the MUB staff.

Request like these will need to be directed
to Pam and she will schedule. The
reservation includes the room only – no table allowed outside the room.

Students who are requesting space to sell
their own product (ex. homemade jewelry) will be allowed to schedule a room at
half the current rate. They will not be
allowed to sell at an Information table.

When Pam schedules a vendor room she will
send Ken B an e-mail to let him know and Ken will arrange parking for the
vendor.

schedule all Information tables. Student organizations will continue to be
allowed to conduct bake sales and do fund raisers the same as in the past.

than 2 consecutive weeks to no more than 10 days per month.

The Girl Scout cookie sale was already
