The parties hereby further agree that the rental client or clients shall indemnify and save harmless the Woman’s Club of Ridgewood from any and all liability arising out of the consumption of alcoholic beverages by underage persons resulting from the use by the rental client of the Woman’s Club of Ridgewood.

Parking
The Woman’s Club of Ridgewood has a form letter for the convenience of our clients addressed to the West Side Presbyterian Church suggesting a contribution for parking. PLEASE CLICK HERE to download a PDF version of the contract. In the very rare instance of a conflict in time between an event at the Church and one at the Club, we will call the client during the two weeks preceding the event to determine the total number of cars expected.

If West Presbyterian Church is not able to accommodate the cars, parking is available on Ridgewood Avenue and the side streets behind the building.
