Let's talk about beer & wine

That got your attention, didn't it? ;-)

Please join your neighbors and members of the City Council for a Listening/Discussion Session next Monday, March 29th between 7:30 - 9:00 p.m to discuss alcoholic beverage laws in the City of Takoma Park. This is an informal gathering which you can drop in; with Roundtable Discussions between 8-8:30 p.m.

Within the City limits, no business may sell alcoholic beverages to take out (except one business which was grandfathered in). Restaurants may serve alcohol with an appropriate license from Montgomery County.

The community has expressed some interest in exploring this in Takoma Park, so the Council has scheduled this important conversation instead of the regular Monday night Council meeting, so please plan to drop by. Background materials are here, and additional information is available from the City Clerk, Jessie Carpenter, 301-891-7267. Light refreshments will be available (non-alcoholic!)
