Scientology’s ecclesiastical leader, David Miscavige, was in attendance and welcomed the attendees.

L. Ron Hubbard, called LRH by those who are fond of him, was born in 1911. Mr. Dan. Sherman, official church biographer, presented LRH’s life and legacy at the event, from becoming a pilot at 20-years-old to highlighting stories of people whose lives have been directly impacted by the Scientology founder.

The night also celebrated recent church and mission openings, including the Scientology Mission of Ulm, Germany; the Church of Scientology Stuttgart, Germany, the Advanced Organization & Saint Hill United Kingdom; the Continental Liaison Office of Europe and Castle Kyalami in South Africa.

Finally, the church unveiled the second year of Scientology Network’s programming in an audiovisual preview. The network has won 30 awards since it launched on March 12, 2018, the most recent honoring the autobiographical series L. Ron Hubbard: in His Own Voice and L. Ron Hubbard Library Presents.
