I spent yesterday with a five-year old Lemonade Day entrepreneur. Her planning is impressive! Her decisions are strategic. Her enthusiasm is infectious! Please mark this day on your calendars - Sunday, May 6. Look for Lemonade Stands popping up all over Haines. Please buy some lemonade and help these teams of emerging entrepreneurs meet their expenses, if not turn a tidy profit! My five-year old informant tells me that she will donate 25% of her profits to her favorite charity and then deposit the rest in a college savings account. She wants to be a ferry boat captain and she knows that will require planning and investment. What an inspiration!
Lemonade Day Alaska started in Anchorage last year. It is a statewide initiative that helps students in grades K through 12 learn how to operate their own businesses - a lemonade stand. The Haines initiative is sponsored by Southeast Conference and organized in Haines by Jan Hill.
