The Florence Community Center space cannot legally accommodate a crowd as large as 200. I am not sure what the limit is, but I believe it is closer to 100 than 200. Also, since it is still an official school department building, alcohol and tobacco are definitely prohibited (in case that would affect your choice of venue). I regret not having other venue suggestions to offer. Best of luck with the event. -- David ++++++++++ David Spound, M.Ed.
