The William Howzdy Memorial Hall

The William Howzdy Memorial Hall is located on the second floor of the Glenn Dale Fire Association, Inc.  The facility is available for private banquets, birthday parties, and celebrations.  The Hall is accessible via two stairwells and an elevator and has a maximum capacity of 180 guests.  Funds raised from these rentals go directly to the operating expenses of our volunteer fire department, which consists mostly of fire apparatus payments.

Amenities

The facility is capable of supporting a number of different functions, with movable walls that create three breakout rooms, and drop-down projector screens for overhead presentations. A kitchen facility is available for warming up food and includes a stainless steel sink with garbage disposal, stove, refrigerator with freezer, microwave oven, and ice maker. Both men’s and women’s restrooms are available.

Round tables capable of seating 10 guests per table are available, as are rectangular tables that can seat 6 to 8 guests depending on floor layout. Chairs are provided, and a smaller round cake table is available upon request.
