SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 307
WHEREAS, Many prominent companies have joined forces to
encourage youthful entrepreneurship during Lemonade Day in
Houston on May 3, 2015; and
WHEREAS, Sponsored by Capital One Bank, Spark Energy,
NewQuest Properties, Saint Christopher, Lupe Tortilla, Employer
Flexible, Mayer-Brown, and others, Lemonade Day teaches children
how to start and operate their own businesses as proprietors of
traditional lemonade stands; the youngsters are provided with
free materials and support as they follow a business plan and
learn to "spend a little, save a little, and share a little" of
the money they earn; a portion of their profits is donated to the
local charity they select; and
WHEREAS, Lemonade Day was launched in the Bayou City in
2007 by Michael Holthouse, and 2,700 children took part in that
first year; since then, the event has expanded to 36 cities
across the United States and Canada, and it continues to grow
exponentially; and
WHEREAS, By taking part in Lemonade Day, children gain
early experience in the business world, and the skills and
principles they learn will serve them well both in school and in
the workplace in the years to come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby recognize May 3, 2015, as Lemonade Day and
extend to all those participating sincere best wishes for an
enjoyable and successful event.
