  2. A copy of the quote/invoice issued by the caterer must be submitted to the Challenger Learning Center prior to the date of the event.
  3. The use or sale of adult beverages in connection with an event held at the Challenger Learning Center must be approved by the Challenger Learning Center prior to making arrangements for alcohol or bar services with the caterer.
