Thank you sisters and friends and mentors
Soon the sun will shine longer each day. I am enthusiastically ready to celebrate that! Christmas - not so much, but I am not a Christian. Just a lover of life.
I send a message of warmth, snuggling into ourselves, hoping everyone enjoys a few slower days this time of year. Connect with loved ones — both present and away — even when away is gone from this realm.
Great work done by viva women in 2018. Aren’t we looking forward to 2019! And more. peg

> BOOKING POLICY
>
> In response to feedback and suggestions from client-members, and in an effort to improve access to the practitioners, the following guidelines have been put into place as of April 1, 2018.
>
> Booking limits will now be enforced on a month-by-month basis. This will make it easier for both client-members and staff to keep track of appointment numbers. This change will also see an increase in overall yearly booking limits to 72 per client-member.
>
> 1. You may book up to two sessions with any one practitioner per calendar month, except when otherwise stated. (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday massage therapy sessions are considered three different practitioners).
>
> 2. You may hold up to a total of six sessions for all practitioners per calendar month, except when otherwise stated. In case of house recess, one appointment will be deducted from your limit for every week of closure. For instance, an August closure could last two weeks, meaning two appointments would be deducted from your allotment. Client-members who refer new client-members, volunteers or practitioners to the house, or who volunteer themselves, are eligible for an increase in their monthly booking limit. Contact info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca <mailto:info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca> for more information.
>
> 3. In case of a breach of booking limits, client-members will, in the first instance, be informed through email and be asked to cancel the number of appointments necessary to ensure equal distribution of appointments. Upon further breaches, Friends for Life may cancel client-member appointments and/or suspend them from booking any further appointments for a period.
>
> 4. When a client-member books an appointment, appointment emails are sent to the client-member and to the practitioner. Client-members are expected to confirm their upcoming appointments through a further confirmation by email and text by BookedIn in the days before the appointment. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca <mailto:info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca>.
>
> 5. Client-members are expected to show up for every appointment they have booked and must also be at the house at least ten minutes prior to the appointment. Late arrivals and no-shows are noted in BookedIn and a number of late or no-show appointments may result in cancellation of future bookings and/or suspension of booking privileges.
>
> 6. Client-members may sign up to be on the cancellation list for a practitioner (Click here <https://friendsforlife.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=21612d99d1f3008d07ea8f1fb&id=df41a184ea&e=7a68f439b0>). Appointments made through the cancellation list do not count towards the monthly appointment limit of 6.
>
> 7. Under no circumstances should sessions be transferred to another client-member. If cancellation is unavoidable, client-members must send an email to info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca <mailto:info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca> immediately. Under most circumstances, a cancellation within a 24-hour period of your session will be considered a ‘no show’. When you cancel, you may offer the name of someone else who may be interested in filling your appointment.
>
> 8. When booking appointments, you accept these terms.
>
> We thank you for your cooperation, as we work towards a fair and equitable system for everyone.
