Who We Are
Traditionally, churches the world over have undertaken projects that enhanced the lives of their parishioners and their communities. The Women’s Auxiliary of the Church of Scientology (WACS) was founded to do exactly the same: to lend support to activities that encourage our membership to improve conditions in their lives and become more involved in their communities.
WACS was founded by three incredible ladies, Lisa Malm, Meri Vallerius and Nancy Reitze in Los Angeles, CA and has been active in helping the Los Angeles community since 1998. The Clearwater chapter was created in 2022. We are a nonprofit corporation; a private ladies club with the purpose of public charity.
The main activities WACS work on throughout the year are centered around establishing relationships with community leaders and charitable groups, and assisting them by taking on projects that align with the social betterment. Based on the charitable group’s “wish list,” we do projects to help them secure what they need and want – whether it’s hygiene bags for at-risk youth; clothing for victims of human trafficking to help them get a job; toys for Foster children at Christmas; food for local food pantries; etc.
More than 200 newspaper articles have been published recognizing and commending the Women’s Auxiliary and the Church of Scientology for their contributions to the community.

A Word From Our President
I am very proud to announce that the Women’s Auxiliary Church of Scientology is now officially in Clearwater, Florida! We are a group of women who have come together to help our non-profit community by providing what is needed in kind. We are part of a large organization founded in Los Angeles over 20 years ago with chapters around the United States.
We launched this volunteer organization in Clearwater on 3 August 2022, with 30 members and now we are over 40 members and rising.
Our purpose is simple, to help the like-minded leaders who are dedicated to social betterment and who are passionate about lifting spirits and securing a better future for all Men.
