No alcohol can be brought into or consumed in the Old Stoney Point School Building or on the grounds of the building. This prohibition is based upon the WMASC Association liability insurance. The center's insurance agency has stated that if the user of the Legion Building is planning an event in which alcoholic beverages are traditionally consumed (like wine and champagne at a wedding reception), the users may be granted an exception to the "no-alcohol" rule. The exception will be in writing and included in the building-use agreement signed by the person requesting use of the building. In such a case, the building user must show proof of the purchase a one-time "Event Insurance" policy, with the Wichita Mountains Area Senior Citizens Association and Center named on the policy as "additionally insured," for the period of the building use. The proof of "Event Insurance" will become a part of the use-agreement at the time of signing the agreement. The using person, organization, or group agrees to take full responsibility for the actions of individuals at the event. "Event Insurance" may cost between $200.00 and $400.00, depending on the event and the ensurer.
