Meadowview Community Center
General Rules, Regulations & Policy Information (updated Nov 2018)
Statement of Purpose
The Meadowview Community Center is designed as a service facility for the entire community regardless of race, creed, religion or national origin. In addition to the medical clinic, it is intended to provide a convenient place where persons of all ages can meet in a wholesome atmosphere to enjoy social gatherings, learning, plus entertaining and/or enlightening programs.
Meadowview First, Inc. is a steering committee comprised of local representatives who will administer the use of these facilities. We intend to maintain a clean and useful building of which everyone in the community can be proud. Toward that end we offer the following restrictions, which we ask everyone to respect and follow:
The following are NOT allowed inside the Meadowview Community Center:
Animals of any kind, except for service animals assisting someone with disabilities.
Alcoholic beverages, controlled substances or abuse of prescription or over-the-counter medications.

ANY act which defaces the property or potentially compromises the health and safety, causes harm, discomfort or insult to any patron or in any way lessens the ability of someone else to enjoy use of these facilities.
