TOPIC: LEMONADE PARENTING. How T.A.R.T. is your family?

What if there was a simple FORMULA for leading your family? Well… there is. And it can be found in the simplicity of a Lemonade Stand.
•Hear how Sarah Morris, Founder of This Side UP! Family Center (www.thissideupfamily.org), a new non-profit in Plano, TX is using the Lemonade Stand T.A.R.T. formula (TEAMWORK, ATTITUDE, RESPONSIBILITY & THINKING BIG!) both within her own family AND to grow a Center that is doing amazing things to move families from surviving to THRIVING in our community!
Sarah will introduce Stand UP! For a A Cause, the 2012 Community Serve Focus project of This Side UP! Family Center (and Girl Scout Gold Award Project of Ricky Rajani).
She’ll invite your family into this easy, exciting way to make a huge impact in Plano and surrounding areas!
*There WILL be lemonade and lemon treats, of course! :))
Most importantly, YOU will leave with practical ideas and plans for becoming a T.A.R.T. Lemonade Leader in your family, too!!
Make 2012 a powerful year of connection for your family!
(*Cost is a $5 suggested donation towards This Side UP!’s mission of moving families from surviving to THRIVING!)
