Good Sunday morning all!
About 2 weeks ago I read online about an opportunity for 1,000 kids across 46 states to sell lemonade for the charity of their choice. The Crayons Lemonade Co. was generous enough to send all the cardboard for a stand and 120 cans of their Tickled Pink Lemonade w/o High Fructose Corn Syrup to kids for free. The idea was started by the CEO's 7 year old son who made $100 dollars for an orphanage. He approached his dad and said they should do this across the U.S.
I was very happy when Jillian agreed to take part. She chose Dove Lewis Animal Hosp. Of course for her love of Mao's and Dog-dogs all over town. We were able to set-up in front of Moreland Frameworks on Milwaukie from 10-2 on Saturday. We did fairly well. It helps to have a cute kid and a VERY outgoing mom. We had several friends stop by and not only buy lemonade, but donate money as well. All in all we made $140. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT THE CAUSE. We will be taking the money we raised to Dove Lewis sometime next weekend. We have a donation coming from Texas that we are waiting on.
LESSON: It's never too early to teach young one's about giving back. Just make sure they get a nap afterwards or you wish you could give them back!!! xoxo, julie

Lemonade stand looks fabulous! Great job, Jillian & Julie & John, and the dogs and cats at the animal hospital will really appreciate your hard work for them too! Texas donation is on its way!
Love,

Jillian,
Thanks so much for letting me set with you and mommie and watch your neighborhood donate to such a great cause.
I had fun blowing bubbles for you to run through.
