Alcohol Server Training
It is May already and if you have not previously done so, the clock is ticking for you to sign up for an Alcohol Server Training (TIPs) class. If you were TIPS certified in 2005, and you are planning on volunteering to pour wine at The Courtyard during the Fair this year, you will need to take the class again. If you have never taken the TIPs class, you will need to attend and successfully complete a training class. The OC Fair starts on Friday, July 11, and ends on Sunday, August 3. As a concessionaire at the OCF, the OCWS must adhere to contractual requirements established by the OC Fair Board of Directors and Staff. Before any of us can work in The Courtyard during the Fair, everyone must be “professionally trained and certified in alcohol awareness techniques.” Once this class is completed successfully, a volunteer is “certified” for three years. The Alcohol Server Training sign-up form can be found in The Wine Press and online at www.ocws.org. Please use this form to indicate your availability to attend the training and either mail or fax the form to the office at 714.546.5002. When indicating your first choice and second choice dates, the second choice date cannot be prior to the first choice date (yes, it does not seem logical that people would actually do that, but there are members who have done exactly that each year). There needs to be at least 10 attendees for the class to be held. All classes are held on the grounds of the OC Fair and Event Center on the first floor of Memorial Gardens. Confirmations are mailed out one week prior to the class. If you have any questions about the alcohol
server training, please call me at 714.964.3881 or email me at See you at the Fair! Karen Ward TIPS Trainer |
