Single Place Calendar: January 2010

NOTICE: CHANGE OF POLICY

Single Place is trying a new policy in regard to attending theater plays or concerts. We are no longer going to purchase any tickets in advance, then collect the money from you if you sign up to attend. For a variety of reasons, we are having poor response for attending these plays, therefore getting stuck losing money on the pre-purchased tickets. Instead we will call the theater the day before with the number of interested, COMMITTED people who have signed up and hopefully there will be enough available tickets for everyone. If not, we will choose the first to sign up with the number of available tickets we can obtain. Please remember - put your phone number on the sign up sheet in case we need to call YOU.

Please Note: While Single Place has made every effort to ensure that its Thursday night programs and speakers are the best, the Presbyterian Church and Single Place do not endorse any specific program or speaker. Judgment should be used in following the advice of or having financial dealings with any speaker or program presenter.

Single Place WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY

If it becomes necessary this winter to close First Presbyterian Church, thus canceling Single Place, we will do our best to announce the cancellation on local radio stations. However, there is no guarantee our closing will be announced. Therefore, it is recommended that you call First Presbyterian Church, 248-349-0911, before leaving home or work. Decisions should be made by 4pm in the afternoon.
