It is hard to believe that a little money can go that far. I am happy about that. Maybe money can buy a little happiness. The Dali Lama twittered the other day about happiness. Someone wrote him said "I want happiness" how can I achieve it? His response was…first take out the "I" (obvious reference to the egocentric self). Then take out the "want"(perhaps our striving to have it all) and you are left with "happiness". Again, wow! As a service club, we serve others and this helps us create and spread happiness.
