The house will be getting a 20% cut from each event which goes into the club's funding.

The venue will be on Spelman College's campus - the lower complex of the Manley building.
To get to Spelman from I-85, take Exit 247 to I-20 West. Take Exit 55B and take a right at the light you come to. At the end of the street, you'll find Spelman's front gate to your right, and Morehouse College in front of you. The closest parking you'll be able to use is on Morehouse Campus, which should only cost $3 for the entire day.
Walking from Spelman's front gate, follow the road on the left side walk. Turn left past the post office and Lower Manley will be further down on your right.
