Snapshots from 3/20/17 International Days of Happiness in Tucson

Our events kicked off at Cafe 54 with Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild reading the City's Proclamation for Tucson's 3rd International Days of Happiness.

The Tucson Jewish Community Center started their Happy Wall during Rodeo Week (picture is from that week by Andrea Wright, JCC staff).  It continued through 3/20 and was an activity that helped boost happiness during bomb threats when the building was locked down for safety.

Limberlost Neighborhood Association serves as the 501-c3 for Do Happy Today and their event (with City of Tucson staff, Irene Ogata), took place on 3/19 at Limberlost Family Park.  City funded improvements to that park, including a FengShui Well-being Walking Path first featured in the 2016 Do Happy Today Celebration, will be dedicated in Fall 2017.

An example of one of 359 posts from the Downtown Pima County Public Library Do Happy Today and Live Happy #happyacts Happy Wall.

Each post was thematically counted by Community Renaissance in the Community Room, City of Tucson Ward 3 office which also hosted a Happy Wall.

A summary report of the data gathered from all of the Happy Walls will be available in May at www.communityrenaissance.biz
