In Recognition of
Humboldt Lemonade Day
June 3, 2023
WHEREAS Lemonade Day Humboldt is a free, community-wide educational event that helps empower today's youth to become tomorrow's entrepreneurs; and
WHEREAS small businesses started by our community’s innovative entrepreneurs have created the economic backbone of our local economy; and
WHEREAS Lemonade Day is a national celebration that infuses today’s youth with the spirit of enterprise, teaching the basic business and entrepreneurial skills necessary to become contributing members of their communities and successful participants in the global economy; and WHEREAS young people who have looked at the world through a business owner’s eyes also make better employees down the road; and
WHEREAS Lemonade Day’s core philosophy of “Spend, Save, and Share” teaches children how to manage their money by establishing a budget, paying their expenses, saving part of their profits and giving back to the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that I, Tami Trent, Mayor of Fortuna, do hereby proclaim Saturday, June 3, 2023 as: “HUMBOLDT LEMONADE DAY” and urges the community to buy lemonade from our local participants to support the next generation of entrepreneurs.
