Clarification on the Lemonade Stand Story

As is often the case with 'developing stories' sometimes we don't get all the facts right. We have some clarifications on the Lemonade stand through the corrections don't make the story any less wonderful and sweet. Here is the story straight from one who was there:

"I just wanted to clarify the story about the Governors Grant Lemonade Stand. My daughter and children from 3 other families worked together to set up the stand. We did set $500 as the goal. We had just set up the stand when a man came by and we explained the Whetsell's situation to him. He wrote out a wonderfully generous check for $300. At that time we had just "opened" the stand and probably had about $50. We then raised $387 more for a total of $637. But what was really nice was all of the people who stopped by not for lemonade, but just to convey their sympathy and to donate money. Our children learned a good lesson about helping others in their time of need, and they were very pleased to have been able to help the Whetsells in some way."

Thanks to the Stec family and the children of Govenors Grant for making the stand such a success!
