Do you hide it as a "room reservation" fee or what? My own chapter has at various times done all these and I'm looking to see what others do.

Thanks!

Your organization should have rules regarding alcohol (including who may buy it, how it should be funded, etc) in its risk management policies. Please refer to that and/or contact your (Inter)National Headquarters.
