The Ohio County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition and the Marshall County Anti-Drug Coalition have joined together to host a "Merchant Roundtable" on Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at Grand Vue Park's Banquet Hall in Moundsville, WV. Participants are able to choose from one of two sessions: the morning session will run from 9:00-10:00AM and the afternoon session will run from 2:00-3:00PM.
Marshall County Sheriff John Gruzinskas will speak on the laws against selling to minors, and a Trooper from the West Virginia State Police, Wheeling Detachment will speak about the SYNAR complaince inspections. The SYNAR legislation, passed in 1996, requires states to conduct random, unannounced inspections in order to stop the illegal sale of alcohol and tobacco to minors.
Forty-fice merchants from Ohio County and 38 merchants from Marshall County, have been invited to attend the roundtable. Merchants will be given information and marketing materials from the "United in Prevention" project. The project focuses on aiding businesses to identify underage customers, thus helping to prevent the illegal sale of tobacco and alcohol. Community members are also encouraged to attend.
