Lemonade to Aid Elephants

Margaret Benfield of Winston-Salem plans to "take all the proceeds from her lemonade stand this summer and give it to Project: Pachyderms" (the capital campaign to ready the NC Zoo for growing herds of African elephants and southern white rhinos), according to her proud father Brian H. Benfield.

Margaret's father and mother, Sally, have much reason to be proud. My earlier posts here of April 18 and 19 are about seven-year-old Madison Benfield who asked her birthday party guests to make their gifts to the Zoo and her favorite animals, the flamingos.

The Benfields are a Director's Guild, NC Zoo Society life membership, family.

Brian and his Forsyth community college horticulture class toured the Zoo with Curator of Horticulture Gin Wall Friday.

Today was Margaret's first lemonade sale of the season for project pachyderms and it was a big success! Several of Margaret's friends from the neighborhood even got involved. When car traffic slowed, their foot traffic increased by going door to door to sell lemonade. She is having so much fun promoting this very worthy cause. (We'll have to send in some pictures next time!)
