And when you add it all up, every year Scientologists provide more than 167,000 hours of service in the name of a drug-free, crime-free, better educated and more beautiful Clearwater!

Now that’s all in addition to what we generate on a fully routine basis—meaning the 1.3-billion dollars Scientologists have brought to this community since their arrival two decades ago.

Or to put it in even more bottom-line terms—we are committed to this community because we are a part of this community.

And with what we inaugurate today comes our pledge to even greater community commitment—not only through the efforts of local Scientologists, but the full measure of the Church as an institution.

Working in alignment with the objectives of this city, we will help our friends in Clearwater who share our goal of creating that better environment whereby all may better survive.

Or, to put it another way, I give you this - the city of Clearwater is embarking on a path of rejuvenation and revitalization.

They call their plan “ONE CITY. ONE FUTURE.”

And that future most definitely includes the Church of Scientology now, tomorrow and forever!
