When Life Gives You Lemons

 

Lemonaide

In 1988, Kathleen Renzi and Roni King, wives of Lions Club members, wanted to help the organization, but women weren’t allowed to be members. The two decided to sell lemonade during community events, giving a portion of the proceeds to the Lions Club and other charitable organizations. For decades they sold lemonade at Harbor Days. In more recent years, their wooden stirring spoon has been passed down to their daughters Catherine Renzi and Kathy King. “We thought about not doing it this year,” said Renzi, “but the Lions said it wouldn’t be Harbor Days without the lemonade.” Photo by Marilou Newell
