For Megan and Emily, (daughters of Tom and Erin Quinlan), and Dominic and Roman, (sons of Len and Sara Bellisario), setting up a lemonade stand has become more than just an activity to entertain themselves on a sunny summer day. A couple years ago, the children set up a lemonade stand at the neighborhood garage sale. Rather than keeping the money, they decided to donate their profits to help other children. That year they gave the money to Rainbow Christian Missions. This year they chose to raise money for the kids at Bethany House because they had heard that the kids needed some new bases for playing kickball. Megan and Emily Quinlan, and Dominic and Roman Bellisario touched the lives of other kids with proceeds from their lemonade stand. As in previous years, the children set up their stand and served lemonade, coffee, and pastries to friends, neighbors, and garage sale patrons. They even had a few customers from Ingomar Church! To their delight, they not only made enough to buy the bases, but also many other items like balls, plastic cones, and hula-hoops. (continued on next page) 1
