Gina shared updates on the organization’s ongoing efforts to support local businesses, encourage economic growth, and create opportunities that benefit residents across Terry County.
A major focus of the conversation was the upcoming Lemonade Day event, which gives young entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn valuable business skills by starting and operating their own lemonade stands. Gina explained how the program teaches children important lessons in financial responsibility, customer service, marketing, and entrepreneurship while encouraging creativity and confidence. Participants will have the chance to experience firsthand what it takes to run a business and earn their own money.
The discussion also highlighted the importance of investing in the next generation of business leaders and how community support plays a key role in making programs like Lemonade Day successful. Gina encouraged families, businesses, and residents to get involved by supporting the young entrepreneurs when Lemonade Day arrives.
