The Alameda County Alcohol Policy Network (APN) will hold four workshops in June for Oakland residents who want to learn how both the City of Oakland and State of California enforce alcohol regulations and ways in which they can use the enforcement process to their benefit, perhaps in relation to a neighborhood liquor store or bar they are concerned about.

The APN's mission is to create safer and more responsible alcohol sales in Oakland. It plays a central role in the Coalition on Alcohol Outlet Issues in the City of Oakland.

Funding for these workshops is provided by Alameda County Public Health Department Alcohol and Other Drugs Prevention.

If you go:

When: June 5, 12, 19 and 26, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. You only need to attend one session.

Where: 2201 Broadway, 2nd Floor Conference Room.

Contact: Ed Kikumoto, (510) 251-2492 or ekiku@pacbell.net. RSVP required at least three days prior to event - please specify first and second choice dates. Each session open to 25 participants only. All workshop materials and snacks will be provided.
