Local League Updates

Dells/Delton Tavern League members presented the School District of Wisconsin Dells (SDWD) with a check for $1,520 to pay off unpaid student meal balances. The Dells/Delton Tavern League is also donating matching funds of $1,500 from the TLW Foundation and $800 from the Third District Tavern League. All said, this provides more than $3,800 of relief to those children in need.

Adams County Sheriff Brent York (left) and Adams County Community Health Specialist Suzanne Schreiner (right) delivered 6,500 coasters to the Adams County Tavern League meeting. The coasters, to be distributed to local Tavern League establishments, have the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number on them — 1 (800) 273-TALK (8255). According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), around 22% of deaths by suicide in the United States involve alcohol intoxication. Feel free to take a coaster home and save it for a time of need, or pass it on to a friend. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is free and confidential to use 24/7. Thank you to the Tavern League of Adams County and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office for helping to fund and support this project.
