Latest Seminar a Big Hit – 5. January, 2008

January 5th, 2008, The Way to Happiness Foundation rang in the New Year by hosting a workshop designed to help people better understand the precepts in The Way to Happiness booklet.

Workshop1_05_08Nancy Cartwright, Honorary Mayor of the North valley and international spokesperson for The Way to Happiness, recently ended 2007 by sending out over a million booklets to households in the greater San Fernando Valley. The booklets were a huge hit and this seminar was just the thing to follow up the distribution of the books.

Led by Richard Stewart, the interactive workshop got a little personal when people talked about moments when they were most happy; it was moving and the joy was contagious.

By the end, members of the audience were getting more booklets to give to their neighbors, asking about places they could volunteer and inquiring about more workshops that they, and their loved ones, could attend.

Thanks to all who made the workshop a great success, including those who were in attendance. Best wishes and Happy New Year.
