NEWRY — The River Valley Healthy Communities invites local area businesses to attend a retail beverage service training from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 1, at the Newry Grange Hall.

The “Seller Server Training for On-premise Licensees” is designed to better equip management, wait staff and licensees on identifying and preventing violations of certain liquor laws with an emphasis on underage and high risk drinkers.

Along with learning about the laws, training will be provided on some ways to identify minors and visibly intoxicated persons and the importance of having good policy to refer to when dealing with them.

The training often leads to reduced insurance rates. It may also help reduce the risk of making costly or tragic unlawful sales. It is a State of Maine Approved Program.

Registration is required and lunch will be provided. For more information, contact Sandy Palmer at 364-7408 or rvhcc@gwi.net.
