OK, here's what I've got:
We can have a buffet dinner at the Microtel across the parking lot. 2 kinds of chicken, veggies, etc. with servers, room charge, tax & tip, plus an off-duty cop (required only if we want to BYO alcohol) would be about $30 each, depending on the final number (some fixed charges, so the more people, the lower the per-person). I've included in this paying for Hilly and Crystal's dinner, assuming everyone agrees. They have emailed me that they plan on being there.
Add to that the usual $5 or so for magnets or whatever, some provided desserts/munchies for the evening.
We could just eat there (no alcohol), then move the celebrations to the Hampton, saving the approx $120 for the off-duty cop. Either way, they ask us to be out of the dinner hall by 8:30, which is normally not a problem - we generally move the party by then anyway.
Thoughts?

I think Matt has a good idea. I think $120.00 for someone to watch us, or watch out for us, could be better spent.

Perhaps if others are willing to contribute we could put that money towards paying for Hilly's hotel room?

Man - I get plenty of opinions AFTER the event. Only a few have comments before it. 
Sorry for the delay - this spring has my head spinning. Just got back from a weekend in Boston with the choir. Nothing much planned any more weekends until the Tomcatt itself. Phew....
I'll have more info on the various plans as I get them finalized.

I think Matt's suggestion is the way that we will go.
Just to forewarn you all, though - it appears that the dinner entrées will be limited to 2 types of chicken (grilled, and in some sort of cream sauce). Adding a third option (pork loin or ribs) puts the price (with tax & tip) up to a ridiculous level, especially given that we only have 27 people signed up so far.
However, I'll see if I can talk them into being more flexible once I can talk to them in person - that often works better for these kind of things.
