One of the primary marketing devices CS has used over the decades has been the CS Lecture.  I do frequent over-time shifts at homeless shelters* and was intrigued to notice a posting for a lecture on a public bulletin board there.  A few things were salient.

First, it was somewhat anamalous that lecture would be promoted in this venue.  Perhaps an employee with CS sympathies did it on his/her/its own initiative?  I've seen a few CS periodicals scattered here and there...  I wonder what their comfort level would be if a bunch of winos and crackheads showed up?

Second, the flier stated that the lecturer was healed of drug addiction through CS.  So that's relevent.

Third--and my main point in this post--the lecture was being held in the Mother Church Sunday School Building!  Obviously, they want to utilize a venue that is appropriately sized to the audience.  It's been years since TMC Extension (domed edifice) was used.  Then for a while they were using the "Original (granite) Edifice."

Now they're down the Sunday School Building.  What's next--a Reading Room?

*I consider this "my ministry to the hygienically challenged."

If I were in Boston I'd strongly consider attending the lecture just to see how many people are there and what kind of people attend (just people who are obviously CS, or perhaps some of the people from the shelter, for example). Occasionally I've gone to CS events just to "take a pulse" (pun almost not intended...).

It's very unfortunate.  She's such a dear girl, but CS has not provided her with either relief from poverty (let alone prosperity) or healing.
