Clearwater, FL, December 5, 2015 (Newswire.com) - The Church of Scientology’s Charity Coalition welcomed 108 executives and representatives of charities and non-profits from the Bay area for its last luncheon of the year in the Fort Harrison’s Crystal Ballroom.

"Humanitarian and Church of Scientology Founder Mr. L. Ron Hubbard once wrote that 'What is important is how much service you can give the world and how much you can get done and how much better you can make things. These are important things. His ability to help measures his worth and that is all.' And that is why we established the Charity Coalition, to help you in your mission to help others."
