ARF Brings Back 'Lemonarf' Stands For the Summer

The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, Inc. (ARF) recently announced the return of the Lemonarf Stand, A Club for Kids.

In order to teach children about philanthropy, ARF has created an official club to involve kids in raising funds for the animals at the ARF Adoption Center.

Last summer, the Club for Kids raised $4,500 for ARF’s animals.

Several local children like, 7-year-old Ellie Rosenwald of Sagaponack (pictured above), already started raising money this summer with her LemonArf stand/yard sale which raised over $500 for the ARF animals over the 4th of July weekend.

ARF has created a Lemonarf Stand free starter kit for children, which can be picked up at the Adoption Center on 91 Daniels Hole Road in Wainscott.

The kit includes the following items to help make a Lemonarf Stand a big hit in any neighborhood:

• The official Lemonarf Stand homemade lemonade recipe. Children can use this recipe or create their own refreshing beverage.
• The official Lemonarf Stand barking good cookie recipe. Kids may use this recipe or make their own mouth-watering treats.
• A Lemonarf poster to let everyone know that the stand raises money for ARF. Kids fill in what they are offering for sale and the price. They can decorate the poster as they see fit.
• The official Lemonarf minibank, to collect all of the donations and keep them safe until the child can bring the money to ARF.
• Official Lemonarf cups.
• Official Lemonarf buttons, to let everyone know you are an official member of the Lemonarf team.

Children can also feel free to add items for sale such as homemade jewelry or art and set their own prices for the items for sale.

Participants can also let ARF know where and when they are having their Lemonarf Stand and ARF will put it on their events calendar on Facebook.

Everyone who runs Lemonarf Stand this summer will also have their photo taken when they bring their donation to ARF and will be featured on ARF’s Facebook Page.
