The events of September 11th, 2001 were a wake-up call to us all. That tragedy brought about a recognition for many that we must take action about the state of the world; and not only a recognition, but a very real and intense desire to do something about it. But how?

Many Scientologists answered that call by becoming even more active in bringing the solutions of Dianetics and Scientology technology to their communities — by opening a Scientology Mission.

Celebrity Scientologist Jenna Elfman, star of the hit US TV show “Dharma & Greg,” set the example, stepping forward to sponsor and promote the opening of a new Mission in San Francisco. This is the Mission of SoMa (South of Market Street), opened in cooperation with her good friends and fellow Scientologists Joe and Cindy Feshbach; Cindy also being the Mission Holder and Executive Director of another very successful mission in the San Francisco bay area.

Cindy and Jenna incorporated a community program into the Mission as a service to local children — the “Arts for Kids Program,” based on L. Ron Hubbard’s study technology and his article, “The Joy of Creating.”

The street was closed off for the mission’s grand opening that was attended by over 1,000 people including San Francisco community leaders and officials. In support of this example of positive action to do something effective about the world and conditions in society, the grand opening was also attended by other celebrity Scientologists including Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Bodhi Elfman, Catherine Bell, Kirstie Alley, Jennifer Aspen, Danny and Chris Masterson, Lynsey Bartilson and Juliette Lewis.

Police Captain Tony Perra, acting as representative for the City of San Francisco, expressed in his welcoming speech how happy he was to have the Church in his precinct, and how he needed their help to improve conditions in that area of the city.
