*Nature deals deadly blow to long-lived and loved tree at Friends for Life *
- By Carol Thorbes (FFL member)
Recently, my heart stopped cold for a long moment when I saw that Friends
For Life’s (FFL) front lawn was bereft of its iconic rhododendron tree.
Vancouver Parks Board gardeners were sawing apart the body of the tree,
which had been struck down by a windstorm on October 25th. They were also
chopping up its artfully twisted limbs for burial elsewhere.
As a 14-year member of FFL seeing this 40-year-old rhododendron tree
standing guard in all its purple-flowered glory in front of the House had
calmed my soul upon arriving for treatments.
I interviewed gardener Chris Mckerracher who informed me that our majestic
House mascot was destined to lose life and limb in a windstorm because it
harboured a spreading pathogen inside.
But don’t fret. The House will eventually have another woodsy sentinel on
guard once the gardeners have found one equally beautiful that is not
vulnerable to the same pathogen that weakened our beloved rhododendron
sentinel.
*REMINDER*
The Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT) will offer massages until
Thursday December 5th and resume sessions the second week of January 2020.
Massages booked in December after the 5th will be canceled. Vancouver
Friends for Life will confirm the return date as son as VCMT confirms with
us. Thank you for your understanding.

*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=d3863dff33&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.
