Family-friendly “Valentine’s Day Village” Comes to Downtown Clearwater February 15th
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization announces a Valentine’s Day Village on February 15th, co-sponsored by the Church-sponsored Humanitarian Centers on N. Fort Harrison Avenue in Downtown Clearwater.
- (1888PressRelease) February 06, 2020 - “Valentine’s Day is celebrated all over the world, by people of all ages,” said Amber Skjelset, Manager of the Scientology Information Center.
“Do you remember the class room Valentines which you gave and received when you were in grade school? That is the spirit of what we are creating on the 15th.”
The tradition of kids sharing Valentines with one another in class, sometimes to friend and foe alike, began in the 1900’s and it became really popular in the 1930’s. There were even “mailbox-making kits” to really make it official.
There is no cost to attend the activities including arts and crafts, family games, scavenger hunt and a raffle drawing. Participants can win additional tickets by participating in educational activities in each center. Raffle prizes will be presented at The Way to Happiness at 8:30pm.
“In support of the common sense precepts, ‘Love and Help Children,’ and ‘Honor and Help your Parents’ found in The Way to Happiness, we wanted to sponsor an event that helps create memories and strengthens the family,” said Ivan Batallia, Deputy Executive Director of the Way to Happiness Association Tampa Bay.
