“The idea that one has a share in the planet and that one can and should help take care for it may seem very large and, to some, quite beyond reality,” wrote Mr. Hubbard, “But today what happens on the other side of the world, even so far away, can effect what happens in your own home.”
“The Earth Day Reception at the Historic Bank of Clearwater is the first of its kind at the Center, bringing together environmentally conscious individuals. The event provided a platform for collaboration,” said Center Manager, Amber Skjelset.
Since the center’s opening on July 11th 2015, the Center has welcomed some 8,000 visitors to the Information Center which provides a destination in Downtown Clearwater where anyone can visit and get their questions answered about Scientology and attend community events.
