The Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office, Schuyler County Coalition on Underage Drinking and Drugs (SCCUDD), and Schuyler County Public Health are partnering to promote a free safe server training that is available to restaurants, wineries, and other alcohol retailers. The training is provided to businesses at no cost, and it can help lower insurance premiums.
The next FAIR training will take place on June 24th at 9 AM in the Human Services Complex Room 120 in Montour Falls. Interested individuals should RSVP by calling 607-535-8140.
