Board clears series of one‑day alcohol permits for community events with standard conditions
Summary
The Licensing Board approved several one-day alcohol permits for community events — including Saint Patrick Parish, Lawrence Catholic Academy, Tenaris USA Sports tournament and the Psychological Center family event — and reiterated conditions about secure service areas and event hours.
The Lawrence Licensing Board approved multiple one‑day alcohol licenses for upcoming community events after confirming security and operational details with organizers.
The board approved a wine-and-malt and all‑alcohol request for Saint Patrick Parish, set for Sept. 20 (wine/beer) and an all‑alcohol date on the 21st as presented; it also approved a one‑day all‑alcohol permit for Lawrence Catholic Academy on Sept. 15 for a donors’ appreciation event, with organizers stating no children would be present in the building during serving hours. Commissioners required that alcohol be supplied by a licensed distributor.
Tenaris USA Sports received approval for a one‑day alcohol permit for a youth baseball tournament at South Morley/Fields (service hours 10 a.m.–8 p.m.) with organizers saying service would be confined to a single enclosed area and police detail on entrances. The Psychological Center received approval for a family event at Lawrence Memorial Stadium with alcohol service planned after noon until about 2 p.m.; the applicant said alcohol service would be in a secured area away from children.
Board members and enforcement liaisons reiterated common conditions: alcohol must be served only within the secured area, service must end at the times listed on the application, event organizers must ensure no alcohol is available to minors, and licensed distribution channels must be used. Motions to approve each event were made and passed by the board.
