grand central Blog of the month: ( continued from page 13) Advertise Grandma Lizzie’s House  is written by Liz Naccarato, a teacher who has taught children “from preschool to 6th grade.” The blog is chock-a-block with ideas for activities, book recommendations, product announcements, news and recipes. Liz also links to cool moms’ sites, where we got a kick out of these ideas for celebrating the end of the school year with your grandchildren : • Balloons and popsicles at the bus stop • All-day-in-jammies day • Putt-putt golf Yes, we know school’s been out for a month…but we’re talking last day of summer school. Ha. • Use sidewalk chalk to draw a path of arrows leading to the stand • Make signs on poster board to attach to telephone poles or lampposts • Make a sandwich board and have a partner (an appropriately older child) wear it near an intersection Location • Set up the stand where there is heavy pedestrian traffic • Be careful about slopes in areas where there are bicyclists • Near or under a shady tree or grassy knoll encourages folks to sip in the shade and cool off • Set a bowl of fresh lemons and limes on the stand to advertise your fresh quality • Don’t dilute. Keep a separate cooler for ice, and wait until you get an order before pouring lemonade over the ice. • Offer a variety. Keep bottles of club soda or seltzer on hand to make lemonade spritzers. Add fresh cherries or strawberries. Ingredients to get repeat customers Community relations • Coach the team in customer relations: please, thank you, come again, have a nice day, ola!, enjoy • Don’t count money or talk about money in front of the customers • Clean up and recycle Most of this advice is from The Little Big Book for Grandfathers, edited by Alice Wong and Hiro Clark Wakabayashi, and published by Welcome Books .
