A Great Idea

On Tuesday, I got a call from my neighbor, Tracey, that her daughters, Megan and Lindsey, along with our other neighbor Drew wanted to do a lemonade/treat stand and give half the money to Team KenTZ. It seriously made me cry! Anyway, Victor printed them a sign, and today, since it was school registration and we live right across the street from the school, they went to work! They had all kinds of treats and drinks, and Kelsey also helped, as did Megan and Lindsey's older sister, Laura. They also had a jar where people could donate directly to our cause, if they wanted. Then afterwards, they walked around the neighborhood to get more donations for Kent. I was so touched by their enthusiasm....and they raised about $125! AMAZING!!! Here are some pics of the day, thanks to Tracey. What a lesson to be learned!


A BIG THANK YOU to all!!

Thanks for the kind words. Andrea was a big part of the day also. We really did enjoy doing it! The last photo you have was so fun taking. The kids had just finished walking the neighborhood and before I took the picture they all yelled "Go team KenTZ!" We all think your family is awesome...we love you!
