Maggie, Charlotte, Natalie and Athena came into the Santa Cruz SPCA clutching a jar of coins and a thick envelope. "Tell them what you did" said Ms. Stoops, mother to Maggie. On their own initiative on a boiling hot Santa Cruz Sunday, the four young girls set up a stand with their very own homemade lemonade and made over $50 in sales. Not only did these young entrepreneurs make a handsome sum of money for a hard day's work, but they did it all for the benefit of Santa Cruz SPCA. Three of the girls have dogs of their own, and two of those were adopted from the Santa Cruz SPCA. Maggie spoke fondly of her own dog, Bella (originally "Hoover"), who was adopted from the SPCA a couple of years ago, and was the inspiration for the lemonade stand.
Thanks goes out to the girls for all the hard work they did!
