Where else could they have found a group of volunteers who would provide them with such a perfect venue to meet their needs with all of the comfort and amenities included and yet be so close to the Huntsville town centre for $1000.00 per month for space with a property value of $2500.00 per month minimum?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The deteriorating relationship between the Lions and HTC first came to light in October 2016. Among the issues between them were an HTC allegation that Chaffey Hall was without heat and a Lions allegation that the theatre company made changes to the hall that were beyond the scope of their agreement.

The Lions Club\u2019s stellar reputation speaks for its self.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said that the Lions wish HTC well and luck in relocating to a new venue. &#8220;This Company serves Huntsville and environs well with their programs. However, while they seek a new home the HTC and their directors and their former Producer who committed to a Commercial Lease for Chaffey Hall must remain responsible for the lease until termination in November 2019 or until such time a satisfactory termination agreement is reached.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
