SEPT.5, 2013 (THURS): Community members living and working in Daly City and Pacifica attended NCPP’s Responsible Beverage Server Training (RBST) Policy Informational Meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to educate the community about what RBST policy is, how it is effectively working in other communities, and what it can look like in Daly City and Pacifica.Attendees also participated in rich discussion.

Representatives from the City of Pacifica Council, City of Daly City Council, Pacifica Police Department, Daly City Police Department, Daly City Youth Health Center, Parent Teacher Student Association, Asian American Recovery Services, Jefferson Union High School District, Prevention Research Center, Teens Making a Change Youth Council, and other community members were present.

By 2015, NCPP seeks to pass a mandatory RBST policy in both Daly City and Pacifica which would allow alcohol merchants to be trained on the laws and policies revolving around serving to minors and obviously intoxicated individuals.

In order to make that happen, the partnership is aware that it is important to work with everyone in the community, which includes alcohol merchants, parents, police departments, city councilmembers, youth, the media, and more.

Passing a mandatory RBST policy affects everyone. NCPP hopes to bring a group of people together to ensure that the policy we work on brings positive change.

NCPP will be having a “Policy Workgroup Kick-Off Meeting,” on November 7, 2013 from 3:30PM-5:00PM at the Jefferson Union High School District (JUHSD) Office in Room 226.

Berkeley City College Students Volunteers for RBST

 

Volunteers

May 11, 2013 (SAT): NCPP was fortunate to have 5 students from the International Student Association at Berkeley City College come to Daly City, CA to do in-person outreach to owners, managers, and employees of alcohol establishments (bars, stores, restaurants). Their main task was to invite these alcohol merchants to attend our upcoming May 21, 2013 Responsible Beverage Server Training (RBST). The purpose of these trainings are to teach alcohol merchants the laws and policies related to selling alcohol to underage drinkers and intoxicated individuals.

One challenge NCPP staff members faced when talking to alcohol merchants in Daly City RBST was getting past the language barriers. Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Tagalog are very popular languages spoken in the area. With the help of our volunteers, who spoke these languages, they were able to get the alcohol merchants interested in attending the training.

Our partnership would like to say “thank you” to the student volunteers for taking their time out on a Saturday to help us out.

If you’re interested in volunteering for our partnership in the future, please e-mail us at ncppsanmateo@gmail.com. We are more than happy to find ways for you to get involved with this type of work.
