and
charter;
and
the
value
that
it
provides
to
the
local
community.
I
also
believe
in
the
Hindu
value
systems,
the
traditions,
that
are
inherent
to
our
culture;
and
also
in
propagating
and

other

LOGISTICS
and
COMMITTMENT
I
understand
that
as
the
instructor,
I
am
committed
to
holding
of
this
class
on
a
weekly
basis
or
as
agreed
upon
–
as
far
as
feasible.
I
do
understand
that
if
there
is
a
break,
that
the
break
is
disruptive
to
the
attendee
and
leads
to
a
drop
in
attendance.
Furthermore,
I
understand
that
rooms
are
booked
by
SHTCC
at
the
Saratoga
Community
Center
months
in
advance,
and
last
minute
cancelation
of
class
are
not
credited
back
by
the
city
of
Saratoga
as
per
their
policy
i.e
we
make
a
loss
for
every
last
minute
cancelation.
I
also
understand
that
I
am
in
charge
of
the
setup
and
dismantle
for
running
my
class
i.e
setup
of
tables
and
chairs
etc
and
their
dismantle
at
the
end
of
the
event
and
any
cleanup
needed
.
I
will
engage
the
help
as
needed,
whether
attendees
or
other
volunteers
towards
this.
I
understand
that
city
of
Saratoga
staff,
even
if
available
are
not
responsible
to
put
up
chairs/tables
for
my
class
or
clean
up
after
my
class.
I
will
ensure
that
I
will
have
left
the
room
exactly
as
I
found
it
and
avoid
any
expenses
for
SHTCC
due
to
city
staff
having
to
put
in
extra
effort
in
the
cleanup
or
dismantle.
I
will
bring
items
as
needed
for
this
class.
If
there
is
an
expense
for
my
class,
I
will
ensure
I
have
it
pre-­‐approved
with
SHTCC
management
team
towards
getting
it
reimbursed.
I
agree
to
treat
the
premises
of
the
class
with
care,
and
ensure
that
no
charges
for
damage
are
filed
against
SHTCC
by
any
organization
as
a

my
actions
