ACGR Cruise (not a cruise) Prizes and gifts

     Getting Ready for the ACGR? 
If you have not been to the ACGR in the past, you may be very surprise to have your heart renewed in your calling. 

     


The aim of Chaplain and Shibana Cutter is to renew the hearts and spirits of professional care givers who do not receive consideration for the hard work that they do.  Caring for another person in the field of professional caring for people is tough.  Physical, Mental, Social and Spiritual Care is essential to the care of any individual.  Care givers are our patients who have carried the heavy burden of helping people with a myriad of activities for daily life.  

   We affirm what you do but more so, We Affirm Who You Are!


The Retreat is designed to offer support and space for Care Givers who work in the field of professional care giving. 

We will have food, gifts, fellowship and fun.


Will You Be there?

The ACGR is here for you!!!
