The memory unit of the attendant transponder preferably has a passkey and a debit/credit indicator. The preferred embodiment of the activity station has an inductive transmission system, a memory unit with programs for evaluating the client transponder's event criteria such as the debit/credit indicator, content rating and/or time stamp and programs for interacting with the attendant transponder's passkey and debit/credit indicator. The preferred embodiment of the activity station also has three status indicating lights and an alphanumeric display. The prefered embodiment of the management station has a computer with a database and a management station inductive transmission system for reading and writing data to client transponder cards. The management station preferably has wireless network data connection with the activity station via transceivers in each station.
