Shining Star Recognition Award
In June, SCCUDD decided to present a Shining Star Recognition Award to Hazlitt 1852 Vineyard & Winery. They received this award due to their commitment to the community.
Their website (shown below) inquires about a person's age before they are re-directed the the website. This showed their interest in improving the health of children and teens in Schuyler County. For this reason, SCCUDD has chosen Hazlitt 1852 Vineyard & Winery as a Shining Star Recognition Award recipient.
On behalf of the Schuyler County Coalition on Underage Drinking and Drugs (SCCUDD) Executive Board, staff, and volunteers, we thank Hazlitt 1852 Vineyard & Winery for their efforts in making the community a healthier and safer place.
