Joey explained the liquor license is in his name, if anything were to happen it would effect not just Fontana Village Resort but also Joey.

Joey said the XF group has become like family to the Fontana Resort.
No other group had this extra perk of using the common room as we have for years.
He is more than willing to work with us so long as it abides by the law/rules of the State Liquor license.
We can still bring and drink our own alcohol in our room.
I do not believe after all these years Joey chose to "profit" off us, nor do I believe he presented options based on profit.
Thank You for your clarification here Ann as this is exactly what Joey told me last Fall
This is exactly what lead to the ban on our own alcohol period !
We had a good time for 5 years while it lasted....
We will need to have a good time
together without open outside alcohol in the lobby and I think it is reasonable to say we can and we will
Thanks you all for understanding this matter and if you disagree with these new rules then you might reconsider joining us in the lobby after dinner in the future or plan on purchasing your alcohol from the Bears Den Lounge at Fontana Lodge.
