Founded: August 1998
Purpose: The Secret Society of Happy People encourages the expression of happiness and discourages parade-raining. Parade-rainers are those people who don't want to hear your happy news. And no, we don't tell people to be happy if they aren't or how to be happy.

Recognize happiness with the same enthusiasm as I do unhappiness,
Encourage others to share their happiness,
Don't unnecessarily rain on other people's parades.
