Terry “Nothing is Impossible” Hitchcock Inspires attendees at Monthly Luncheon in Clearwater

Clearwater, FL – On June 26th (15) Tampa Bay nonprofit organizations gathered at the Clearwater Community Volunteers Center for its monthly Charity Networking luncheon. Serving as the keynote speaker, Mr. Terry Hitchcock, passed on his advice on inspiring others to share in the nonprofits’ missions, promoting community activism through their good works. The Luncheon began at 11:30 am inside the café-style gathering space of the CCV Center. Guests were invited to socialize with other nonprofits to promote the development of future partnerships. Mr. Michael Soltero, Manager of the CCV Center, served as the emcee. He welcomed the attendees to the luncheon, before turning the stage over to Mr. Hitchcock. Mr. Hitchcock opened this speech by giving some history as to his accomplishments in the field of nonprofit work. He spoke to guests about how he went about inspiring others to tackle the common problem of single-parenting. He described his nearly 2000 mile run in 75 consecutive days to bring about awareness of the problem and prompt others to take action. Ms. Clemence Chevrot, Director of the CCV Center said “Changing the society that surrounds us for the better is not a one person job. Knowing how to rouse others into contributing is pivotal for a nonprofit and its done, in part, by setting the example. Humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard summed this up in what he wrote ‘There are many people one influences. The influence can be good or it can be bad. Others around one cannot help but be influenced by this, no matter what they say.’” The luncheon concluded with Mr. Soltero inviting guests to stand up and deliver a short introduction of themselves and their respective nonprofit organization. The volunteers and charity leaders then exchanged contact information and planned out new community projects together. Through sponsorship of the Church of Scientology, the CCV Center offers its facilities as a meeting space or event venue at no cost to nonprofit organizations in order to further their influence into the community.
