AHA Launches New Online Food Safety Course |
|
The Arkansas Hospitality Association (AHA), in partnership with the Arkansas Dept. of Health, has introduced a new online food safety training course for food service workers. This affordable course allows your employees to learn the fundamentals of food safety, sanitation and personal hygiene at their own speed—and for just $10. Employers can pre-pay with a credit card and provide their employees with a dedicated authorization code that allows you to track who's completed the course. Workers who complete the online course and pass the exam receive a certification card good for three years. Visit the online food safety course at http://foodsafety.arhospitality.org to register. Please note that the new online food safety course does not supplant the AHA's ServSafe food and alcohol safety course, which are more intensive training intended for managerial staff and key employees. The online course is an affordable and easy way to train your full staff in the fundamentals of food safety. For assistance please e-mail help@foodhandlertraining.com with your question, which will be answered within two business days. If you have a problem with the course and need an immediate question answered, call the help line at 1-866-679-6733 (Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. Central Time). Want to know more?

Arkansas Big Bass Bonanza Rescheduled for August 1-3 |
Nation’s Largest Amateur Bass Fishing Tournament Postponed Due to High River Conditions
The Arkansas Big Bass Bonanza, the nation's largest amateur big bass tournament, has been rescheduled for August 1, 2, and 3, tournament officials announced, citing excessive water flows on the Arkansas River. The current costs of entering the tournament are $90 per day participated. The three-day tournament, originally scheduled for June 27-29, has been rescheduled due to safety concerns following recent heavy rains upstream that made conditions on the Arkansas River potentially hazardous for small watercraft.
All current tournament registrations will be honored for the new dates, and the tournament rules, format, and prize pay-out arrangements will remain the same, including the $100,000 grand prize. Detailed information is available at www.arkansasbigbass.com .
Current registrants who will be unable to participate on the rescheduled August dates may receive a refund of their registration fees. To receive a refund request form or register for the tournament, contact the Arkansas Hospitality Association at 501-376-2323 or 1-800-472-5022. All refund requests must be postmarked by Monday, July 7. |
