The following represents an agreement between the CROWNE PLAZA RAVINIA and Walton High
School entered into as of August 29, 2008 and outlines specific conditions and services to be provided.
Below is an agenda of Organization’s meeting and function space requirements. Function rooms are
assigned according to the number of persons expected to attend, and may be changed by the Hotel if
attendance changes. Room locations are not guaranteed by Hotel unless confirmed in writing.
Date Start Time End Time Function Setup Agr Room Rental

point of $33.00 inclusive per person. The menu will consist of Salad, Entrée, Starch, Vegetables, Rolls and Butter,
Dessert, Iced Tea and Coffee. **
ATTENDANCE GUARANTEES:
Attendance guarantees must be given three (3) business days prior to the Event. The Hotel will set up
and prepare for 5% above the guaranteed number for groups under 400 people and 3% for groups over
400 people. However, food is prepared for the guarantee and guarantees are not subject to reduction
within the three (3) business day period and will be charged accordingly. Increases to guaranteed
numbers will be accepted upon availability. If fewer persons are served than what is designated in the
guarantee, Organization will be charged based on the number of persons designated in the guarantee.
For events for which no guarantee is provided, the planned attendance figures will be considered the
guarantee. A set-up charge of $75.00 is applicable for all meal functions with a guarantee of less than 25
guests. Function rooms are held open only during the hours indicated in this Agreement.
FUNCTION SPACE:
Based on the requirements outlined by the Organization, the Hotel has reserved the function space set
forth on the Function Information Agenda attached to this Agreement.
IN-HOUSE EQUIPMENT:
Hotel will provide, at no charge, a reasonable amount of meeting equipment (for example, chairs, tables,
wastebaskets, etc.). These complimentary arrangements do not include special setups or extraordinary
formats that would deplete Hotel’s present in-house equipment to the point of requiring rental of an
additional supply to accommodate Organization’s needs. If special setups or extraordinary formats are
requested, Hotel will present two alternatives: (1) the rental cost to be paid by Organization for
additional equipment; or (2) to change the extraordinary setup to a standard format, avoiding the
additional cost.
HANDLING/STORAGE FEES:
If Organization ships boxes for this meeting, such shipments must be addressed as follows:
Crowne Plaza Ravinia
4355 Ashford Dunwoody Road
Atlanta, GA 30346-1521
Hold for Arrival: Walton High School Marching Band Dinner
Margaret Abrams
May 15, 2009
A handling/storage fee of $3.00 per box, $35.00 per crate and $50 per pallet will be charged. All boxes
must be marked with the name and date of Organization’s function, as well as box number (i.e., Box 1 of
2; Box 2 of 2). Due to limited storage space, no shipments will be accepted any earlier than 3 days prior to
Organizations event.
EXHIBITS:
It is our understanding that the organization’s program does not involve the use of exhibits or display
material. Should your organization request exhibit tables, the Crowne Plaza Ravinia will charge a fee of
$35 for each exhibit or display table requested.
Organization understands that, if alcoholic beverages are to be served on the Hotel premises (or
elsewhere under the Hotel’s alcoholic beverage license), the Hotel’s alcoholic beverage license requires
such beverages be dispensed only by its employees and bartenders.
The Hotel’s alcoholic beverage license requires the Hotel to (a) request proper identification of any person
of questionable age and refuse alcoholic beverage service if the person is either underage or proper
identification cannot be produced, and (b) refuse alcoholic beverage service to any person who, in the
Hotel’s sole judgment, appears intoxicated. The Hotel encourages the adoption by banquet groups of a
designated driver program, whereby one or more persons accept the responsibility of not consuming
alcoholic beverages and providing transportation of others in the party. The Hotel will be happy to assist
anyone upon request in making alternative transportation arrangements and/or overnight
accommodations during the course of Organization’s function.
PAYMENT: Full prepayment of the estimated Master Account charges must be received on or before
May 1, 2009.
CANCELLATION:
Organization agrees to provide Hotel with written notice of any decision to cancel or otherwise abandon
its use of the Hotel (a “Cancellation”) within five (5) days of such decision. If Organization cancels the
Event or moves the Event to another city or facility, such decision shall constitute a breach of its
obligation to the Hotel and the Hotel will be harmed. If a Cancellation occurs, the parties agree that: (i) it
would be difficult to determine the actual harm suffered by the Hotel; (ii) the sooner Hotel receives notice
of Cancellation, the lower its actual harm is likely to be because the probability of mitigating the harm by
reselling space and functions is higher; and (iii) the highest percentage amount in the chart (the “Chart”)
set forth below reasonably estimates Hotel’s harm for a last-minute Cancellation and, through its use of a
sliding scale that reduces damages for earlier Cancellations, the Chart also reasonably estimates Hotel’s
ability to lessen its harm by reselling Organization’s space and functions.
Organization therefore agrees to pay Hotel, within thirty (30) days after any Cancellation, as liquidated
damages and not as a penalty, the amount listed in the Chart below.
Provided that Organization timely notifies Hotel of the Cancellation and timely pays the above liquidated
damages, Hotel agrees not to seek additional damages from Organization relating to the Cancellation.
IMPOSSIBILITY:
The performance of this Agreement is subject to any circumstance making it illegal or impossible to
provide or use the Hotel facilities, including acts of God, war, government regulations, disaster, strikes,
civil disorder, or curtailment of transportation facilities.
The Agreement may be terminated only for any one of the above reasons by written notice from either
Hotel or Organization to the other within ten (10) days of learning of the basis for termination. Neither a
change of ownership or management of the Hotel, nor a change in management of Organization shall
relieve either party of the responsibilities and obligations of this Agreement.
LITIGATION EXPENSES:
The parties agree that, in the event litigation relating to this Agreement is filed by either party, the non-
prevailing party in such litigation will pay the prevailing party’s costs resulting from the litigation,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
ADVANCE DEPOSIT:
An advance payment of $2,375.00 will be required in order to hold arrangements on a definite basis. This
advance payment is due with this signed contract and will be credited toward the event.
Hotel and Organization have agreed to and have executed this Agreement by their authorized
representatives as of the Effective Date.
