Smile Across Your Heart Club chapters are regional groups committed to meeting monthly with the intention of voluntarily helping to spread more joy and love in their communities in a fun, giving way.

Club chapters actively go out into the community and perform FUN, joyful exercises passing on the joy and love to others. Each Smile Across Your Heart Club chapter around the world will be performing the same FUN, joyful, charitable exercises. These exercises are implemented into our daily lives, which creates permanent change. It requires a commitment, consistency, focus, and attention. It's all about having so much fun in the process of spreading joy and love and the creation of happiness that the "good deed" inspires others. Love is contagious! Giving to others also leads to more abundance for everyone! These joy exercises will keep people smiling. I challenge you to have as much fun as we are and keep your community smiling!

1. Select people in your community-friends and family members who have the time, commitment, and desire to join a club chapter. The number of members should be manageable so when you're meeting in your homes it's comfortable for everyone.
2. During each monthly meeting, set a group intention by aligning your hearts -"The group intention is to have fun doing charitable deeds to help spread more joy and love in the community. These deeds are for the highest good for everyone involved." Surround yourself and all those involved with the highest vibration of love.
3. All club activities should be in congruence with the law.
4. These activities are performed with pure love and joy and nonattachment to the outcome. Therefore, even if you don't receive appreciation or any verbal feedback from recipients, it won't take away from the activity performed or your joy in giving.
5. At each monthly meeting and group outing, have FUN! All club members can wear an original Smile Across Your Heart shirt purchased through this website.
6. All giveaway items must be healthy, clean, sanitary, and have some sort of Smile Across Your Heart Club label or marking.
7. Contact your local chamber of commerce and get a listing of your local charities, organizations, foundations, shelters, and crisis centers. Contact the ones of your choice and introduce the Smile Across Your Heart Club to them, informing them that you may be donating items and time to their organization in a particular month. Let them know what month to expect you and establish a date.
