Earlier this summer, the NY posse went out to Central Park to
gift lemonades. Next week, they went
again. By the third week, many media folks were after them. Fourth week, they gave out 750 lemonades. Today, they're still at it, and now volunteer in over half a dozen cities are planning on replicating it. Here's an email we just got today:
I passed by Central Park that Saturday evening, (my first visit in 11 years) and recieved a smile card from a girl. I couldn't believe what a good idea it was, and it touched me so much that I had to stay watching for more than 10 min. I didnt talk to anyone but it made me want to cry! Now back home in Costa Rica, I've been telling everyone what happened to me with free lemonades and lots of smiles!! and planning to start soon the same project!!!
For Shephali's birthday gift, co-conspirator Birju offered this wonderful video of their lemonade photos:
And for those who don't recognize those shirts, read the story of how we were tagged by them. Perhaps we should start using them for Karma Kitchen too. :)
