Lemonade Day is Almost Here!!!

Attention all young and future entrepreneurs!

Lemonade Day is coming May 3rd, 2009!!

On Sunday, May 3rd, CIS will join an impressive group of companies, organizations an d parents to teach kids how to be entrepreneurs and leaders in the fun and refreshing way—LEMONADE DAY!!! All over Houston, and in other cities across the country, kids who register will sell lemonade to their communities at stands that they themselves set up.
Prepared 4 Life, the event sponsor, will provide everything the students need to set-up and start their businesses. Each participant will receive a workbook that teaches them how to budget, secure investors, choose a location, make the lemonade and the advertising signs—as well as , life-long lessons about customer service, starting a saving account and giving back to the community.

Prepared 4 Life’s goal is to impact the next generation of business leaders by reaching one million kids in the next five years and launching Lemonade Day worldwide. By all accounts, Prepared 4 Life is well on its way to reaching that goal. Already the effort has grown from 2,600 stands in 2007 to 11,200 in 2008. This year Prepared 4 Life expects participation to more than double with an estimated 25,000 stands and as many as 75,000 participants.

All of this enthusiasm and growth is largely a result of a long list of event co-sponsors and community partners. If you want to become involved, to go the Lemonade Day Website or inquire with the following sponsors and community partners.
