On the evening of February 10th, ACI gathered to celebrate Valentine’s Day by watching the Rob Reiner cult classic The Princess Bride. Attendees went along on the journey as Westley saves Princess Buttercup from the Evil Price Humperdinck. The film has something for everyone; sword fighting action, hilarious one liners, and yes a bit of romance. It was a fun night together!

On January 25th, ACI came together to celebrate the New Year! Participants enjoyed hot chocolate and took part in a New Year’s renewal arts and crafts activity. They created and decorated paper snowflakes to express the parts of their lives that they wanted to continue to foster in the coming year, as well as releasing beliefs about themselves that they no longer wanted. The ACI family spent the night enjoying each others company talking about their dreams for 2017. Have a wonderful year!
