First Member Meeting A Success!

Thanks to those of you who made it to our first official meeting for members last night. This is the start of a live monthly session about giving and happiness. To those who signed up on Meetup.com but couldn't be there, hey – we understand how busy life can be sometimes. You did miss a wonderful first meeting, though.

There were ten of us and we had some excellent French bread and Brie, kindly donated by Marie-Noelle. We also had some nice red wine, juices and soft drinks and water. Oh yeah – and a fun, interactive talk about happiness!

As part of the talk by The Humanity Project’s president, Robert Spencer Knotts, we enjoyed a roleplaying skit that illustrated how approaching others with a giving attitude can help make us happier. We also heard an original short, funny fable about a giving life – and then we all took part in making some music together. Everyone pitched in to add something to the sound. The talk seemed to get everyone thinking and we sat around for about a half hour afterward, just chatting casually about giving and being happy. This was not silly or frivolous chatter. It was a meaningful discussion among all ten of us about the practical, effective lifestyle taught by this organization. I think we all benefited from the discussion.

If you live in South Florida but couldn't make it, no problem. Our next meeting is on Thursday, December 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Dania Beach. (The third Thursday of each month is our regular meeting date.) Please come and join us!! And Happy Thanksgiving, in advance, to you all!! No matter what part of the world you live in. The Humanity Project still has our free website, with this blog and podcasts and other features – and many new exciting, innovative website features coming. Have a wonderful holiday!!
