If you do not know what Lemonade Day is, I am sorry. I will tell you that Lubbock, Texas participated in Lemonade Day http://lubbock.lemonadeday.org/ in a big way, as it did last year. As I ran errands, and travelled about Lubbock, I saw a lot of lemonade stands. The prices varied, and the advertising varied. I made a point to stop at the stand that was at the end of my street. For a dollar, I was given a 16 oz. Styrofoam cup of ice and lemonade. The lemonade was good. Not great, but good.
The Lemonade Entrepreneur, coached by her mother (I assume) told me the funds they raised were for the YWCA and the entrepreneur's desire to take up tennis. That sounded good. Mother told me that they learned a lot.
I "get" Lemonade Day. I am just concerned about how much Lemonade Day is managed by parents vs. their children. This is not an isolated concern. When I buy Girl Scout Cookies, http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_cookies/how_to_buy.asp, I am concerned that the parents are doing more of the work than are the Girl Scouts. I have bought cookies, anyway. I think, next year, if I see Girl Scouts not working at the cookies sales, I will tell them that they have lost my purchase.
