WHY SHOULD I BELONG?

• I owe it to myself and my business to help our industry move forward at the local, state and national levels.
• It takes strength in numbers and concerted action to accomplish anything worthwhile. The TLW has over 4,000 members and is growing.
• Only through a membership in the TLW can I obtain reports and publications such as On Premise prepared with my business needs in mind.
• The regular City and District meetings plus state conferences and conventions I attend will provide me with ideas and information I can not obtain from other sources, and ideas are tested before they are passed on to me.
• I have friends among the members, people I enjoy being with for friendship's sake as well as for business reasons. By belonging to the TLW, my life is richer and I help the on-premise alcohol industry.
• Committee projects and other association activities enable me to contribute to the general well being of the State of Wisconsin.
• The cost of belonging is low compared with what I get in return.
• My membership will give me access to the TLW office in Madison to answer any questions that arise in my always changing business.

CODE OF ETHICS

• The Tavern League of Wisconsin believes in taking good care of our customers and protecting against the effects of alcohol abuse. We want our customers to have a good time and we are interested in their well-being.
• We reserve the right to refuse service to persons we believe are intoxicated. Friends don't let friends drive intoxicated. Let's be friends.

• We want you to get home safely. If you need a ride, we will try to arrange safe transportation home. We hope you will consider doing the same for your friends.
• We will not knowingly serve an underage person not accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian and will check age identification when in doubt. We ask for your cooperation.
• We will not encourage or permit alcohol consumption contests on our premises.
• We will keep ourselves informed, and encourage all of our customers to help us enforce the alcohol beverage laws, practice responsible drinking, and good citizenship.
