WELCOME AUGUST
Back in the year 2000, the secret Society of Happy People (yes, that's a real thing) decided to dedicate the whole month of August to the active pursuit of happiness. To observe, one must simply choose to think about happiness and the things that make them happy? (source: mailerlite.com). What makes you happy?

Aug 6 - Dine to Donate at Lopez Legacy
