Organizers of the Lemonade Day children’s entrepreneurial program are seeking donations to start a seed fund.
The group wants to raise $5,000 to $10,000 to support a new source of funds for the annual lemonade sales day that teaches
Indianapolis-area students about running their own businesses.
The seed fund will give participants the chance to pitch ideas for their lemonade businesses and secure startup capital.
Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard, entrepreneur Scott Jones, media personality Peter Dunn, and the firms Verge and TechPoint
are hosting a fundraiser that runs 6-8 p.m. Monday at The Speak Easy, 5255 North Winthrop Ave., in Broad Ripple.
In May, roughly 15,000 local K-12 students had sales of about $2.4 million during Lemonade Day, which raised more than $800,000
for charities of their choice.

You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.

For those who let this information strike a nerve, remember that this is still the America that allows the freedom to achieve dreams and goals. Should you really chastise those who are given a perk on a deal that is supported by the consumer (that is until they don't like the deal anymore due to envy) or should the dream of rewards for working be looked at a little closer? I say lets stick to the deal, go to work,earn our keep, shoot for dreams, change our jobs to have that dream or shut up about others achievements ..............while we are still afforded this liberty of America !

Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.

Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
