On Sunday, June 29th, 2008, we held another Lemonade Stand in Lake Forest at Benny's home. Thanks to some very thirsty patrons and generous donations we raised $381 for Benny’s World. Bella and Lily Watters, and Georgia and Patrick McDonald had a great time running the stand. There were a few disagreements over who got to do what except when it came to quality control. They all embraced the taste testing, you can never have too much lemonade, watermelon and ice cream sandwiches! Benny wasn’t too interested in working the stand, he just liked to make celebrity appearances throughout the day.
The Tiki Stand has been given to us so if you live close by and your children would like to hold their own Lemonade Stand to raise money for Benny’s World please come and borrow it. We are hoping to be making appearances around town this summer at the Market Square concerts, Lake Forest Day and maybe even down at the Beach, we’ll keep you posted. Thanks to everyone who was able to drop-by, we all really enjoyed ourselves.

On Saturday, June 21st, 2008, our friends in Seattle held a Lemonade Stand for Benny's World. Their stand was part of Crayons, Inc. Kid Empowering Charity Event held across the country. It was a huge success, they raised $322 for Benny's World and the kids really enjoyed it.
When Bella was born in Seattle in 2001, Lisa joined a neighborhood mom's group called PEPS and together these friends survived and laughed at their lack of mothering expertise. We've all gone on to have lots more children and since that first baby the Watters have moved 3 times but we have all remained good friends.
Thank you so much to our friends for selecting Benny's World as their charity. We are very thankful. The success of this stand has inspired us to continue running stands throughout the summer in Lake Forest.
