Make LemonAID for Ashlee! 8/16/08

What are YOU doing this Saturday morning? Can YOU spare some time to make LemonAID? Get your family and/or friends together for a quick act of service to make a big difference for Ashlee Adams and participate in the LemonAID Challenge.

Aid = (synonyms of) Help, assist, support, minister to, relieve, serve, sustain, bolster, encourage, promote, advance, foster

Where do you need to go to do the challenge? Your front yard! (Or come visit my lemonAID stand & garage sale more posts to come with details on that)

What do you need to do? Set up a lemonade stand! Have some fun get your kids, spouse, significant other, friend, or neighbor and by a bag of ice, some lemonade, and plastic cups (or make your own fresh squeezed if you are so inclined) and sell your deliciousness for a $1 a cup. Do it right in your own front yard! Be silly, have fun, turn the sprinklers on, spray each other with spray bottles, water guns, or hoses and SELL sell SELL!!!

Why do you need to do it? Because its time for our amazing friends and cousins the Adams family to go all the way to Ohio for a very specialized surgery to significantly improve the quality of their baby Ashlee's life. They have to stay for at least 10 days and get back and forth from the hospital to a hotel. They won't be able to stay at the Ronald McDonald house because of the long wait there. Which means they will need to not only be paying for hospital bills and plane tickets but now also a hotel and a rental car. We can make a difference and make LemonAID! It is a small time commitment and the whole thing could be done and over with for your family by 10am - enough time to have a full Saturday left to party while doing a simple and kind act of service for someone else. You can make a difference "by small and simple things are great things brought to pass!"

How do I turn in my money to make a difference for Ashlee & her family? You can either deposit the money into Ashlee's PayPal account online or you can meet me at the Target food court (for those east valley residents) on Gilbert and Southern from 1 - 1:30pm this Saturday August 16th to turn in your money and multitask with your Saturday Target list.

I've mentioned Ashlee before on the blog and I know most of the people who read this silly blog of mine know Miss Ashlee or her Mom and Dad personally. It's just something small we can all do that is not only fun but a special memory of service you can make with your family at the same time!

Put yourself in someone elses shoes and do something simple to make a difference!

Join me in the LemonAID for Ashlee Challenge!
