How to resolve AdBlock issue? LUCERNE, Calif. – Thrive Lake County and Marymount California University will co-host a second “Happiness Town Hall” at the Lucerne Senior Center, 3985 Country Club Drive, on Thursday, July 24.
Lake County residents and community organization participation is currently being sought.
This meeting is a follow up to the March 18 “Showcase on Happiness.”
At this meeting, Marymount University will present a summary report based on the data from the March 18 meeting, and will formally request interested parties to participate in a Community Advisory Group to help move the Happiness Index Project (“HIP”) forward throughout the fall semester.
HIP explores the concept of happiness and its role as a true measure of community prosperity. It is the first step towards considering the economics of happiness within Lake County community-wide planning processes.
Denise Rushing, Lake County Supervisor for District Three explained, “Lake County has so many assets – our deep sense of community, beautiful landscapes, clean air, quality of life, high volunteerism – to name a few. These assets are not considered when assessing our community using the traditional measure of economic measurement. Establishing a happiness or well-being index is important, as it would enable us to attract more of what we want, and avoid what we don’t want. Additionally, it would help us assess ahead of time how any proposed action would impact Lake County’s total well-being, not just those attributes measured by dollars and cents."
Both organizations and community residents are invited to contribute during the Town Hall meeting to be held from 7 to 8 p.m., where views on what they feel contributes to Lake County community prosperity can be voiced.
