The Traveling Smile!

Something new from our Social Committee to brighten your day - The Traveling Smile!

Look for the Smile somewhere in the neighborhood.


On the back it says:

You have been smiled upon!

Enjoy this smile for a few days. Display it happily. Then pass it on to a neighbor in Spring Pond Estates to make them happy.

Put it on their lamp post, front porch, or door knob. It's nice to make it a surprise and put it there when they aren't looking. Try to give it to someone who hasn't received it yet.

Let's keep this smile going around the neighborhood, particularly during these trying times.
