Chaplains and their spouses are invited to a time of renewal during the Chaplaincy School March 14 – 16 in Phoenix, Arizona at the Sheraton Crescent Hotel. The theme of the school this year is “Spiritual Integrity.” The school planning committee has been working on this special event and knows it will be a refreshing and informative time for you. We have partnered with The Winners Federation for the program on Wednesday and are excited to have Reverend Ben Fike lead us in training on Thursday and Friday.

There will be a 40^th Year Anniversary banquet on Saturday night as well as a worship service and family banquet at Turf Paradise Race Track on Sunday. Affiliated Councils and Chaplains are invited to the business meeting on Saturday.

Councils and Chaplains have received the invitation letter and registration form. If you need another copy, please contact Tammy Robinson in the National Office. An exciting new program is in the developmental stages to designate funds for Affiliated Councils, which can be used for specific areas including education such as the Chaplain School. This new program will be announced in 2012 and the funds will be disbursed as Affiliated Councils meet the established criteria.

We have negotiated a special sleeping room rate of $115 per night plus tax at the Sheraton Crescent. Due to the high demand for hotel space in Phoenix during the prime time our meeting is taking place, sleeping rooms will need to be reserved by February 13.
