BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Area Prevention Coalition (BAPC) thanks the 17 businesses that participated in the Responsible Beverage Service Trainings that were held in September and co-sponsored by the Department of Liquor Control.
BAPC recognizes the important role that local retailers and restaurants play in preventing underage drinking.
Thirty-two employees of retailers and establishments that serve or sell alcohol and/or tobacco attended the trainings. Congratulations to our winners from Brattleboro Mobil/Neighbor's Mobil and Dover Forge, who each won a $25 gift certificate in the trainings' raffles! Additionally, Arkham and Brattleboro Discount Beverage each won a drawing for a kit to safeguard against false IDs.
Sponsoring the Responsible Beverage Service Trainings is part of Brattleboro Area Prevention Coalition's comprehensive approach to increase collaboration with local retailers to reduce and prevent underage use of alcohol and tobacco and sales or service to intoxicated customers in our community.
Other retailer projects include the Brattleboro Responsible Retailing Project (helping licensees prevent underage alcohol sales and sales or service to intoxicated customers) and the Healthy Retailers Initiative, which encourages healthier food and beverage choices and discourages tobacco and alcohol use among youth.
Please be part of the solution by joining BAPC in preventing substance abuse in our community. Call 257-2175 for more information.
