With moms help (and her $9.10 to buy supplies) we squeezed lemons all afternoon. We shuffled across the street and borrowed containers and stockpiled cups and straws and then fancied up my little brother's wagon with a sign that said &quot;Fresh Lemonade.&quot; I spelled fresh wrong but mom said it was just fine.</span></span></small></p> <p><span style="font-size: medium; "><small><span style="font-family: Verdana; "><span style="color: black; ">We hung balloons on the wagon so we could catch peoples attention and found an American flag in the basement and mom said it would show our patrism but I'm not real sure what that means.&nbsp;</span></span></small></span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span><span style="font-size: medium; "><small><span style="font-family: Verdana; "><span style="color: black; ">We also stashed popsicles on ice in case people wanted those too! Unfortunately we didn't see many people outside. Mom says it might have been too hot. It was 100 degrees in Columbia this weekend. We sold 6 popsicles and 2 cups of lemonade. We made $8. Not so good since I owed mom $9.10. She said that we didn&rsquo;t have to pay her. I don't think this is the best way to raise money so we will come up with a new idea!</span></span></small></span></p> <p style="text-align: center; "><img width="300" height="201" alt="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/citizeneffect_production/blog_assets/1982/Lemonade_02.jpg" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center; "><img width="300" height="201" alt="" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/citizeneffect_production/blog_assets/1984/Lemonade_03.jpg" /></p> <p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p><a href="http://citizeneffect.org/blog/trung-chanh-kindergarten/lemonade">read more</a> | <a href="http://citizeneffect.org/blog/trung-chanh-kindergarten/lemonade#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="1296">leave a comment</a> Bev and Clara W. 1296 at http://citizeneffect.org
