This is important, because as Joel says in his Laffirmations book, &#8220;Seven days without laughter makes one weak.&#8221; Indeed and in deed, humor can add years to your life&#8230; and life to your years!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of years&#8230; we are especially excited to celebrate in 2011 the 34th year for The HUMOR Project, the first organization in the world to focus fool-time on the positive power of humor. Our big celebration will take place on June 10-12, 2011 at our 54th international program at scenic Silver Bay YMCA of the Adirondacks. This wonderful weekend features a special performance by Noel Paul Stookey (Paul of Peter, Paul and Mary) and a special appearance by Edison Pe\u00f1a, one of the rescued Chilean miners who personifies the theme of this year&#8217;s conference: Survive AND Thrive!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again to all of you who have supported our fun-but-not-for-fun work over the decades and across the (s)miles! We salute-with-a-smile all of you who will connect with our services, programs, and resources in 2011!<\/p>\n<p>Jest wishes,<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.humorproject.com\/2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/joelmargie-sig.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-129\" src=\"http:\/\/www.humorproject.com\/2014\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/joelmargie-sig.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"128\" height=\"44\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Joel Goodman<br \/>\n<em>Founder &amp; Director, The HUMOR Project, Inc.<\/em><br \/>\nMargie Ingram<br \/>\n<em>Co-Director<\/em><\/p>\n<p>P.S.
