Founded: August 1998
Purpose: The Secret Society of Happy People encourages the expression of happiness and discourages parade-raining. Parade-rainers are those people who don’t want to hear your happy news.
Mission: To help people recognize more happiness and encourage them to talk about it.
Side-effect: Since happiness is contagious, if more people recognize and talk about it, then more people will be happy. And ultimately, our world needs more happy people.
Motto: If you’re happy and you know it . . . tell somebody! If someone else is happy and they know it . . . listen!
