2012: The Year of Joshua’s 2nd time being CEO

So, we’ve finally arrived to the now. Whoa, that’s exciting. 2012 was the most recently lemonade stand, and even though it was over a year ago, I still remember it like it was yesterday. It wasn’t raining that year, which was fantastic, and we even had a incredible surprise visitor, see below: That’s right, John Carmichael (MPP), came to visit us at the lemonade stand! He’s been coming to the stand for the past few […]

2011: The Year of Weather, Lemon-Stock and the Course

For the first time in Amanda’s Lemonade Stand history, it rained on lemonade day. Really, it had never happened before, so this was a kind of obstacle that no one had expected, and we had to adapt to rather quickly. But, besides that, the lemonade stand was a success. We prevailed, and it was the first year that Joshua officially took over the lemonade stand. Yes, 2011 was actually a really huge year! Super-busy, but super-rewarding!   […]

2010: The Year of the “Cookie Eyes”

Well, as I keep saying, I love my little brother Joshua tremendously. I mean, I really do love him so much.

2009: The Year of the “Nothing’s Impossible” Song

All really cool people have songs, am I right? They either have songs written by them, for them, or about them. Well, in my case it’s actually all three!!! Our family is friends with another family, and their daughter is a musician/song-writer. She proposed to write a song for me, about the lemonade stand, portraying the positive message of giving back and making a difference. I couldn’t have been more excited. So, I helped write […]

2007: The Year of the First Conference Bus

Conference Bus? What? Okay, let me explain. So, in 2007 about an hour or so before the lemonade stand started, a giant tour-bus pulled up in front. Naturally, we were all very confused. An elderly man came off of the bus, and told my mom and me that they were a group of retired engineers going off to their annual conference. They had heard about me and my lemonade stand on the radio on their […]

2006: The Year of My Apprentice!

This was a really huge year for the lemonade stand. Heck, it was a really huge year in my life as a whole. My little brother was born in February of 2006, which was the biggest and best change of my short life so far. He’d been what I had wished for every year on my birthday, and so 2006 was truly a miracle year for me and my family. Joshua was a great apprentice […]
