welcome to make more.

$14. All servers are required to hold a valid TABC certification and be able to

shared hand washing station as well as a temporary permit. Leading up to the
event, each participant will be required to fill out a health department form and
have a quick call with a representative from the Galveston Health Department to
be compliant.You can also read
