  • 1. May 2 is "LEMONADE DAY"!

    What a wonderful way to introduce young people to the decision-making processes of their own business! On Lemonade Day, children ages 3 to 18 start, own and operate their lemonade business while learning life skills, character education and entrepreneurship.

    Bring this free, community-wide event to your city in 2011 and help train the next generation of entrepreneurs. Check out the details on the latest issue of Future CEO Stars, pages 8 & 9. http://www.fcsmag.com/node/2
