About this meeting idea

We timed this meeting to align with the Treats and Keeps fundraiser, so our girls would have a chance to learn about a real woman-owned business. The girls got to learn about what it means to run a franchise, got to go behind the scenes, get in the fridge and freezer, and see how Frozen Yogurt is made! Then we got to eat Fro-yo. We read a library book about how kids their age can make/save/spend money and talked about their ideas (raking, lemonade stand, washing mom's car, etc). We sent them home with a "Jar of Opportunities" project to do with their parents.
