Little Jimmy's Italian Ice

Ypsilanti Classroom Invite

admin — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:52:02 +0000

When we were in Michigan in October, I received a message on my cell phone from a teacher at an all boy’s academy in Ypsilanti, MI. The teacher, Lawrence, wanted me to speak to his class of 3rd -5th graders about being in business and entrepreneurship. I said sure, we would do it, so my brother Tom and I headed over to their school and met a great group of young men very interested in becoming businessmen. The school last year started with 5 kids and now has grown past 20 and we were very impressed with the job Lawrence was doing with his students. The video below is a talk I gave and questions the students in Ypsilanti had for us. After our talk, they actually started to do fundraisers to get themselves started in their own Italian Ice business.
Here is a link to their school if you want to help them out. DM

In the state of Washington, individuals who receive state support must be working, or on a pathway to employment. With her parents’ help, Lacey Jean Davis of Montesano, Washington, who is disabled by cerebral palsy, has become not just a valuable member of the workforce, she is an entrepreneur!
In fact, she was named the Entrepreneur of the Year at a Dinner in her honor in Michigan in October. The video below features her Dad, Larry Garman, speaking on her behalf.

Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice News Story from 1990 on CNN. I found this on some old VHS tapes last week and transferred to my camcorder and then computer. Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice is featured in this story regarding the USO and the First Gulf War.

PS- 11/05/2008 The group did a reconciliation of their week long business project in class. Good news !! They found out they made $100.00 more than they originally thought.

Total profit for the week was $752.00 after paying for product, supplies, advertising at school and t shirts for all crew members. They beat the school record from 2007 by $162.00.

Happy Halloween

This really has nothing to do with Italian Ice or anything- this is a playlist that I put together from Youtube that has some old Halloween cartoons that I remember from when I was a kid. In fact, last night, I plugged my laptop into my TV and played these for my 8 yr old twins, and they enjoyed them probably as much as I did. Let me know if you remember them as well.

Flying to Michigan next week!

My brother Tom and I will be flying out to Michigan next week to attend a conference in Jackson called disAbility Connections Awareness Dinner featuring Little Jimmy Italian Ice entrepreneur Lacey Jean Davis from the state of Washington.

I saw this in the Citizen Patriot Newspaper today and online here.
Seattle resident Lacey Jean Davis will share her story about having cerebral palsy and owning her own business at an Awareness Dinner for disAbility Connections on Oct. 15.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. at Gene Davis & Sons Catering & Banquet Center, 3575 Francis St.

Davis, 23, started Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice and has a plan in place to become less dependent on the Washington disability system.

The fundraiser dinner has a goal of raising $25,000 for disAbility Connections Foundation of Jackson County, according to Monica Moser, executive director.

The nonprofit has raised nearly $173,000 through this annual dinner since it was started 11 years ago.

Tickets for the dinner, silent auction and awards are $75 per person or $500 for a table of eight.

To make a reservation or for information about sponsorship opportunities, call Moser at 782-6054.

AOL’s Digital City just came out with a list of their top 12 ice cream spots throughout the United States. Great list with most notably Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice at #8.

Click here Here for the AOL List.

Out of the 12 listed we are the only Italian Ice mentioned in the AOL list, so I guess that makes us #1 in terms of italian Ice- what do you think?
