Lemonade and youngsters a great mix
June 19, 2008 by Sharon Thompson
Youngsters enjoy setting up lemonade stands, and this summer they can help raise money for homeless children by participating in LemonAid Days. They can register at The Salvation Army, 736 West Main Street, or online at www.lemonaiddays.org and receive a LemonAid kit. The kit includes instructions for running a successful lemonade stand, official badges and posters. The stands will operate July 4 through 23.
Here are some ways to get involved:
Get your church children ministries, sports teams, or scout troops involved and register as a group.
Let your family, friends, and neighbors know about your stand with flyers, e-mails, and signs.
Set up a stand at your yard/garage sale.
Decorate your stand with bright colors and perhaps some music.
When you register at The Salvation Army or on-line, you’ll receive a LemonAiD Kit in the mail that includes:
- Official LemonAiD badges for stand operators
- Poster to designate stand as an Official LemonAiD Site
- Instructions on running a successful stand
- Thank-you bookmarks for customers
- Sponsorship form
- Return envelope for proceeds
There will be a rally at the Fayette Mall on July 23 where kids can celebrate and put their proceeds into The Salvation Army giant red kettle. Call (859) 252-7706.
