Recently I have been asked a number of times "What do I get for my money?". What you get for your money at Monroe Hall is a full evening of entertainment, a place to gather and have a great time with old friends and meet new friends. Behind the scenes, $10 pays for a door person, dance instructors (sometimes multiple instructors), wear and tear on sound equipment, rent for the hall, advertising, and after all of this some minimal income- maybe. $15 for an evening with a top rated live band also pays for the band. If you rent the hall, it pays for hours of set up and breakdown, wear and tear on equipment, troubleshooting, utilities, and minimal income. No one is getting rich putting on events at Monroe Hall. I dare you to go to a movie and eat lousy popcorn for $10; or go out for dinner for $10 or $15. We are not a mega corporation that when you call goes into phone tree hell or has you calling India to have your questions answered. In other words, you get a lot for your money and you are supporting one of the last old fashioned dance halls and meeting places in Northern California. There are no discount rates, we are already the best deal in town.
