Bob, Sounds to me like the Aquarium no longer wishes to have us use their facility. It is far too much for them to double our rent for the room. It was not that long ago that they raised it to the $100 if I remember correctly. I am surprised they are taking this action with us....we have been very good customers of theirs. Oh well....times change I suppose.

Beginning in January our rent for the auditorium is being increased from $100 per month to $205 per month! Here's how it breaks down: - We have been paying a flat fee of $100 / month for the past year (approximately). - the new monthly rate works like this...there is a $40 flat fee for use of the auditorium. In addition, there is a $25/hr. fee for the Attendant, plus a flat $10/month fee for storing the cabinet. This all adds up to $205.00 for a Three (3) hour meeting, which equals $68.33/per hour for our once a month meeting.
