Community United from San Jose CA was proud to take part in its first event as a Happy House Chapter.  It was a huge success! They were invited to attend The Community Resource Fair at History Park in San Jose. This event is sponsored by the City of San Jose and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation with corporate sponsors such as Hewlett Packard, PG&E and Kaiser Permanente.  Because of their past work with the Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force they were invited to attend this city sponsored resource fair. There were thousands of people in attendance with live music, puppet shows, resource booths and food. (more…)

On Sunday March 8, the newest ship in the Outdoors Club’s The Way to Happiness fleet was christened at Burton Chace Park in Marina Del Rey.

Nancy joined dozens of Outdoors Club members along with Happy House volunteers for a sunny day of hot dogs and chips for the families and anchovy tossing for the sea gulls.   At 2:00 PM, before turning the festivities over to Nancy, Ship Captain Bob Sullivan read from the ship’s log giving the history of the donation and renovation of the boat and then he named Nancy an honorary captain.

Following a brief welcome to all the kids enjoying the day, and a reminder to Safeguard and Protect the Environment, she shattered the specially wrapped champagne bottle on the anchor thus making the 27 foot fishing vessel an official The Way to Happiness ship.
