Vehicles in violation of this ordinance are subject to a parking ticket

Community Center Rental
Do you have a party, meeting or special gathering coming up that you hope not to have to squeeze into
your home? Is it the type of event that would be a lot easier if you had a nice place to hold it instead of
using your living room? Renting the Community Center could be just the answer. As a resident of Riverton, you can rent this lovely 24’ by 48’ room with kitchenette for non-profit occasions. The seating capacity is 76 people, with table and chairs provided. A $100 cleaning deposit will hold your date up to one year
in advance. The rental cost for Riverton residents is $75 for a total of 6 hours. The cleaning deposit will be
returned to you if the room is left in the same manner in which it was rented. Call the RCA office to save
your date.
The Community News is published bi-monthly.
