The Church of Scientology purchased the 36,000 square foot Fall School building along with adjacent properties at 1112 and 1114 8^th Ave. South last year. This continues the church’s practice of buying and restoring historic properties for use as churches around the country.

The District 17 informational breakfast meetings are usually scheduled for the second Saturdays (except during June and December). The informal, non-partisan forums are for neighborhood leaders and residents from all corners of the district to network with each other and public officials. Dist. 17 ranges from I-40 south to Sevier Park, Berry Hill and Trevecca University.

No word on whether any Operating Thetans will be conducting audits during the meeting, but let's hope it doesn't turn into Battlefield Earth.
