Can Lemonade Change Your Life?
Have you been laid off? Do you dream of a new way to work in the middle of your life? Come watch the documentary Lemonade and hear the inspiring stories of people who dared to see job loss not as a pink slip, but as a new, blank page.
We’ll serve you a big glass of lemonade, then lead an important conversation about transitions, change —
and the qualities of inspiration, imagination, and innovation. You won’t want to miss this.
