In a tradition that dates back to the 1970's, Scientologists in churches and missions around the world commemorate the March 13th birthday of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard in the way he himself asked it to be celebrated—by greatly expanding their service to the communities in which they live.
L. Ron Hubbard once wrote, "A being is only as valuable as he can serve others," and taking this to heart, Scientologists contribute many hundreds of thousands of hours each year as Volunteer Ministers, manning tents in and around their home towns or traveling to distant lands to participate in Goodwill Tours or providing emergency relief in times of disaster. Many thousands more provide drug education and prevention to the youth of their cities, promote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, protect the rights of their fellows by cleaning up the field of mental health and reverse plummeting moral standards in society by distributing copies of The Way to Happiness, a common sense moral code written by L. Ron Hubbard.
Over the past year the Scientology Press Office has featured many of these stories, but we have covered only a fraction of what Scientologists do on a daily basis to help millions of people through the application of the technology of L. Ron Hubbard.
On Friday, March 17th, more than 5700 Scientologists, community leaders and friends gathered at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida to attend what many have described as the most spectacular Scientology event in history. As showcased at this event, never before has there been this level of expansion of Scientology churches and activities in a single year.
As soon as the the event was over it was shipped overnight to the West Coast, and the following day over 5000 Scientologists from the greater Los Angeles area packed the Shrine Auditorium to hear about the past year's achievements. And even as these LA Scientologists were taking their seats, a team of multi-lingual Scientologists began the task of translating the entire three-hour event into 16 languages.
Over the next two weeks every Scientology church and mission in the world will hold their own L. Ron Hubbard Birthday Event. For the time and location of the event nearest you, and to reserve a seat, visit the International Scientology Events locator.
