The Lemonade Stand Girls
Late this Spring Hana Lombardi, Lillie Evans and Lila Weinstein started a Lemonade Stand with one goal: To help raise money to give the Animal Shelter a new makeover. Thanks to their Lemonade stands and a generous donation from Mark Driscoll, a local contractor in town, the Shelter now has a new look! The front of the shelter and the door have been painted, the weeds growing in the gutters have been removed, and flowers have been planted. Our thanks to Lillie Lombardi for overseeing the project, to Sheila Donovan and Betsy Tufts for planting flowers and for Chris Kruger for supplying the planters.
Hana, Lilly and Lila will be out this Fall (now selling cider and doughnuts) to help raise money to install a new window in the isolation room at the shelter.

email campaign
Meggie Smith raised money for the Marblehead Animal Shelter for her 7th grade social studies do something project and for her Bat Mitzvah. She sent an email to everyone who was invited.

She raised $1,000! The animals and the volunteers want to congratulate her on her Bat Mitzvah and also thank her for her outstanding generosity! The money will go toward food and vet bills.
