Pouring may also be performed by the licensed sponsor’s personnel, provided each individual donates their time to the host charities. Personnel donating their time will receive a thank you letter from the Festival charities –God’s Love We Deliver.
Please note all pouring at unlicensed venues will be conducted by appropriate trained/experienced personnel engaged by the licensed caterer to ensure compliance.
