Odds & EndsAgain, if you wish to take an online alcohol server course, here is a link: https://servingalcohol.com/michigan-alcohol-seller-server-course/   Successful completion will allow you to enter the clubhouse, (the “premises”) and legally “open the bar” to buy beer, wine, or spirits.  Cost is $12.50 and the certification is good for 3 years.  We would like a large number of  members certified.  Please let Becky and/or I know if you take the course and provide us with a copy of the completion certificate.
Last year, the LYC obtained a Specially Designated Merchant  (SDM) license in addition to our Club Liquor License.  The SDM license allows for the sale and take out (off premises) of beer, wine and seltzers (only).  Attached is the policy and operational details we will follow going forward regarding the takeout of beer, wine & seltzers.  Please direct questions to Becky or myself.
