<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If the event is not part of the fundraising activities (for example, it is a celebration to thank volunteers, and everything is free), then that could possibly be different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It is definitely a good idea to call the Liquor Control Commission (</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">866-813-0011)
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">because the law is a bit tricky- especially if money is in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In addition, depending on where you are planning the event, I would also check your local ordinances and/or possibly with your local police department. Some local municipalities have prohibitions against alcohol
in public (or publicly owned) places and buildings – which the library would be. You would want to be sure your event is in compliance with your municipality’s charter and/ordinances too.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">When I called the liquor commission asking about this- basically any event where alcohol is served in the service of raising money- requires a permit. That includes fundraising I believe.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I called LARA to verify what is necessary. If it is done purely in the service of education, not fundraising and is of a small quantity no permit needed. (IE a program on brewing or about wine)<br>
<br>
I would call them and find out just to be sure:<br>
