Cook County Higher Education, in collaboration with Cook County Law Enforcement and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, is sponsoring an Alcohol Server Training workshop Monday, June 27 from 6:30 to 8 :30 p.m. at Cascade Lodge, and Tuesday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Windigo Lodge Restaurant on the Gunflint Trail. Bartenders, wait staff and all owners and operators of alcohol-dispensing establishments are highly encouraged to attend this informational training.
In the state of Minnesota, liability charges can be levied against the individual serving the alcohol as well as the owner. At this course you will learn: Minnesota statutes relating to the sale/service of alcohol; procedures for checking identification; how to identify minors; how to manage customer drinking; methods of intervening with intoxicated persons; and factors and signs of intoxication.
The course will be taught by Brian Kringen, law enforcement liaison officer with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement and Mark Falk, Cook County sheriff. Pat Hennessy, manager of the Grand Marais Liquor Store, will also be on hand to offer guidance and answer questions.
The fee for the training is $5 per person. Register at Cook County Higher Education by calling 387-3411 or email highered@boreal.org. To help CCHE plan accordingly, register by June 24.
