Would you like to use our building? The Shoshoni Senior Center is located in central Wyoming, and we have a great space available. You can reserve the community room at the Senior Center for memorials, meetings, parties, and other functions as long as the event does not conflict with our regular operations or other scheduled events. We are not a full-service event venue, but we do have:
- A large, open space
- Tables and chairs
- Access to bathrooms
- Podium and microphone
- An upright piano
- Projector and wall-mounted display screen
- Wall-mounted television with DVD player
The rental fee is $100 for businesses and fundraisers and by donation for personal use, public service events, and memorials. There is also a $50 cleaning deposit due at reservation. We will return this after the event if the Senior Center is clean and there are no damages.
In order to reserve the Senior Center, you must sign a Building Use Agreement. Additionally, all special arrangements and equipment usage must be specified in advance and approved by Senior Center office staff.

The body of the deceased is not to be brought into the Senior Center, but ashes in an appropriate container are allowed. What we are able to provide for a memorial service depends on the availability of volunteers.

You may not use the piano, computers, exercise equipment, pool tables, sub-kitchen, and presentation equipment unless specifically approved by Senior Center office staff and specified in writing on the Building Use Agreement form.

- Return tables and chairs to how they were before your event or as otherwise specified. Only stack the chairs four high, and do not block access to the windows. Sanitize the tables, vacuum, and check the bathrooms. Place all garbage in the dumpster at the west end of the building. Check all lights, thermostats, stove, doors, etc. carefully before leaving the building.
