College of Massage Therapy will be on their semester break.     VCMT
(Tuesdays/ Thursdays) are off April 11th- May 7th.  WCCMT (Mondays) TBA

*bookedIN system*
We have been trying to solve the problems with the booking system. One
problem  identified is that if clients book under different variations of
their name, a new account is created (i.e. if John Smith booked with full
name, J. Smith and Johnny Smith, then 3 accounts are opened). This is also
affecting email notifications.  Until we figure out a more permanent
solution, please choose one name and stick with it.   Thanks

*Expressive  Arts with Melanie *
These are one-on-one sessions with Melanie Rivers, a student of Expressive
Arts Therapy. She will be here until the end of May 9th.   For those
clients that have  been regular attendees and are unable to book a wrap up
session, please talk with Misha. misha at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca  For more
information about Melanie, please see here.

May 7th- 15th is Volunteer Appreciation Week.    At Friends for Life are
very fortunate to have amazing volunteers- many who have been with us for a
number of  years.

We have over 20 people who volunteer with our Brunch program creating
fantastic meals on Wednesdays.   We  have several Hosts who ensure that
clients are greeted and that the house is attended to.     All of our
Practitioners donate their services free of charge.   Besides attending
meetings, our dedicated Board members have volunteered  at Bingo for the
last several months. A big thank you for keeping bingo operating.   There
are so many others  that volunteer for special events and pitch in as
needed.

For everything that you do for Friends for Life we say *"Thank You"*

*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 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.

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=ec9ef84295&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 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.
