Lubbock held their annual Lemonade Day event on Saturday,
May 3. Lemonade Day Lubbock was started as a way to empower today’s youth to become
tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. Participants receive lessons on running a business
prior to the event in order to prepare them for the day. Rebecca, a former Grandparents As Parents
Program (GAPP) client and current member of the GAPP support group, is raising her five
grandchildren, Melina (17), Jacob (15), Isabella (12), Decembra (10), and
Landon (8).
The children wanted to participate in Lemonade Day and decided to name their stand “Best in the West Lemonade.” They were
determined to build their own lemonade stand out of scraps of wood and were able
to gather what they needed just in time for the event. They made a pink stand
for girls and a blue stand for boys. Due to prior commitments, Melina, Jacob,
and Isabella were unable to be there for the sale. However, Decembra and Landon took charge and worked hard to flag down cars to stop and have some lemonade. Rebecca
and the youth generously donated the proceeds from the stand to Methodist
Children’s Home.
