Non-Profit Space Usage

Within the mall common area, however, the right to free speech must be exercised in a manner which does not interfere with the operations of the mall or with individual businesses or mall patrons.

1. All persons must at all times obey the mall’s free and public safety regulations;

   2. Anyone carrying a sign or placard which is not directly attached to their own clothing or which is larger than clothing to which it is attached;
   3. Anyone attempting to solicit money, other donations or signatures or attempting to pass out leaflets, brochures, pamphlets, or flyers;
   4. Anyone attempting to set-up a table or display for any purpose;
