Since their opening, these centers have welcomed some 60,000 visitors and have partnered with over 400 like-minded individuals and organizations that work to improve Tampa Bay "The last Downtown Block party gave everyone a sense of belonging and inclusiveness, and this is something we see as important to creating a real sense of community," said Dylan Pires, Community Affairs Director for the Church of Scientology.
