Clearwater's Fort Harrison Welcomes Community and honors nearly a century of Community Service

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Feb. 14, 2025 - PRLog -- The Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization is proud to announce that in 2024 alone, the Fort Harrison welcomed the Clearwater community for nearly 70 charity events, documentary film screenings and weekly events.

"Hosting community events is a long-standing tradition at the Fort Harrison," said Lisa Mansell, the Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology. "In looking at newspapers stories dating back to the 20's, community groups such as the Shriners were reserving the Fort Harrison's ballroom for their events even before its opening in 1926."

"This is a tradition that we are proud to carry on, nearly a century later," said Ms. Mansell. "In January alone, we hosted two different nonprofits for their annual events. This month we hosted a documentary screening and we are hosting events for two Greek cultural organizations in the next few weeks. Plus, we host a weekly TV night where we showcase episodes from the Scientology Network – members of the community are welcome to attend and do so every week."

Since its completion of an 11 month, million-man-hour renovation and restoration project in March of 2009, the Church has continued to welcome members of the community to events at the Fort Harrison while also serving as the international religious retreat for the Church of Scientology.

For those curious to see how the Fort Harrison has withstood the test of time, and the Fort Harrison's role as the international religious retreat for the Church of Scientology, a virtual tour is available online at scientology.tv/flag (http://www.scientology.org/churches).
