Market Street and our Community Center here on S. Vermont Avenue. This is an evening dedicated to all those who have made this possible, and those who have contributed to our expansion since our grand opening,” Bogan announced. Awardees included long time Inglewood residents Robert Cantin, Sheila Hagen and Patricia Harris who have been dedicated to bringing Scientology to Inglewood and its social betterment programs in a big way for over a decade. Special acknowledgement was made to local religious leaders Bishop Franklin Harris, Minister Tony Muhammad and Rev. Alfreddie Johnson for their outstanding contribution in the community.
