Nice response, Mike...One other point that you all have to remember is...This 
is how POCA makes it's money from the event. POCA receives about 58 cents per 
night/per room....Not dollars...Cents. Not a whole buch of cash. So, we have 
to charge for entry into the hospitality suite to cover ALL other expenses 
that are incurred, which includes all beverages, hospitality and Ballroom 
rental, Karaoke, Sat Night Dinner, bartender and GUARD salaries, which 
includes the guard who is in the parking lot!

Also, I want you to remember that all of the POCA members
that help with this huge undertaking, do it on a strictly VOLUNTEER 
basis...No one gets anything.

So in conclusion, that is the reason that the guard was so adamant about not 
letting anyone in without an "Event Button" As Mike said, he was following 
POCA's rules, and at that point, POCA was paying his wages.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to "E" mail me, and I can further 
explain how it works....

Regards....Gary Roys one of the Event Co-ordinator's, along with my wife 
Cindy, and of course Kent and Sandi Snyder and Bob and Carol Reid.
