  MARYLAND, Baltimore

Greetings with enthusiasm!!

The event this year will be on the corner of Eastern Blvd., across from Eastpoint Mall in Baltimore County, 21224 from 12:30 - 2:30. 

We will be setting up tables on the parking lot of Dunkin Donuts and will be giving away magnets, balloons, and of course, information about laughter.  Those that stop by on foot will be encouraged to participate in laughter exercises and those driving by will be encouraged to "Honk if you love to laugh." 

This is right by a bus stop across from a shopping center and I know many people will be coming to the mall from Baltimore City. 

And, really cool: The Governor issuing the Proclamation!!  It is my hope to live to see this as a nationally and internationally recognized day.  Much peace, love and laughter to you and through you.
