Don’t serve teens

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Tulare County would like to thank the businesses that are participating in the “We Don’t Serve Teens” Campaign. The WDST campaign promotes education, responsibility and community involvement in order to reduce youth access to alcohol.

We sincerely thank the businesses that have been on board from the beginning of the WDST campaign (July 2010), approximately 200 businesses, most of them locally owned. To date, we have 643 businesses actively participating in the campaign. Participating businesses have posted decals within their establishment which read: “The Legal Drinking Age is 21: Thanks for not providing alcohol to teens” and/or “Please don’t provide alcohol to teens. It’s unsafe. It’s illegal. It’s irresponsible.”

We are also pleased to acknowledge several corporate businesses: 7-Eleven, WinCo, Rite Aid, Bravo Farms, Flyers, Holiday Inn and several Dollar General locations.

With great appreciation for your support, we “Thank You” for being part of the “We Don’t Serve Teens” Campaign. If you would like more information or would like to join the WDST campaign contact NCADD at (559) 688-2994.
