On Jan 21st, 2015 at 7pm, the Aliso Viejo City Council will meet to vote whether to allow alcohol to be served at the Edwards Aliso Viejo Stadium Theater.
They met earlier this month, and we presented them a petition with 250 signatures. Several city councilmen were undecided, and they will reconvene on the 21st to gather more data.
Your voice matters!!
Why we care about keeping our theater alcohol-free:
- We support a family-friendly theater, which is a safe environment for kids and teenagers.
- We care about teenage accessibility or early exposure to alcohol.
- We advocate protecting teenagers, balancing a corporation's desire to increase profits. There are other ways for theaters to improve revenues without risking children.
- Adults have other close venues to watch a movie and drink, such as the Cinepolis Luxury Cinema in Laguna Niguel.
- Unlike an open restaurant, a theater is uniquely hard to secure. The rooms are dark and patrons are in close quarters. Once a movie starts, it is hard to imagine anyone closely patrolling.
- Parents should not have the burden of worrying if a movie theater is being secured or monitored.
This is one of the last safe places where we can go as a family or drop our teenagers off to have fun with their friends. Let's do our part to keep it that way!
Please sign this petition with your name and city (no requirement for email address), and we will present the signatures on the 21st. For more information, visit www.alcoholfreemovies.com.
