We had some lemonade in the freezer, which we quickly whipped up while Rob stapled our posters to pieces of wood.\u00a0 We then took an old wooden chest cover and two stools to make a table.\u00a0 We brought napkins, lemonade, cookies and glasses!\u00a0 We were set up at 5 o\u2019clock, as people were coming home after a hot day\u2019s work and getting ready for supper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We placed our stand at an intersection where drivers have to slow down not far from the beach.\u00a0 We made a sign on the beach and held our posters beside the road.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many people stopped and we ran out of lemonade and had to run to our homes for more. \u00a0Jack and Stevie\u2019s Mom brought cookies, crackers and cheese, and carrots too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All in all, it was a wonderful success as we were very busy. \u00a0Instead of a fixed price we asked for donations. \u00a0People believed it was a good cause and made donations up to $10.00! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thank you soooooo much for encouraging young kids to raise money to help us have a better future. \u00a0I believe that we helped a grizzly bear or two!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks again<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Earth Rangers<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who should be the next Super Ranger?<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/wildwire\/super-rangers\/join-the-super-rangers-club\/\">Tell us whose amazing acts of green we should feature!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8382\" title=\"RBC Foundation\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/super_rangers_rbc_support_final.jpg\" alt=\"RBC Foundation Supporter\" width=\"640\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/super_rangers_rbc_support_final.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/super_rangers_rbc_support_final-300x70.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthrangers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Earth Rangers<\/a> is a non-profit organization that works to inspire and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/bbtw\/resources.html\">educate<\/a> children about the environment.
