*HOUSE HAPPENINGS *






*Harvest Co-op - Fresh organic produce for FFL members*

Imagine having the very best produce selected for you and ready to pick up.
Well, it’s now possible. We are very excited to share that Harvest Co-op
will deliver fresh bags of produce for pick-up between 2 pm and 4 pm at
Vancouver Friends for Life the first Thursday of every month (please come
around the back door) *starting October 3*.

The Harvest Co-op is an organic fruit and vegetable cooperative where
resources are pooled together to purchase in bulk and offer you exceptional
prices. We believe a healthy diet is essential for persons living with HIV,
Cancer, Hepatitis C and other chronic illnesses.

To order, please email Melanie Lee at ggiggles2011 at gmail.com or call (778)
882-9166 no later than 3 pm the day before Thursday delivery. Bags can be
bought in increments of $5 (e.g. $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $30 etc.). Rest
assured Melanie will choose the best seasonal organic fruit and vegetables
she can get her hands on. Unfortunately, you cannot select the produce
beforehand...Look at it as a beautiful surprise.

**Starts Thursday, October 3, 2019 *and will last until December 2019.

*Brunch*
Brunch is served every Wednesday in September and October. You don't need
to register. Just show up during service between 11:30 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.  Our
fantastic brunch volunteers prepare amazing, homemade meals.  Please come
enjoy a meal and catch up with friends.

*B-I-N-G-O prizes*
Bingo for Life helps to support the many programs at VFFL and we are always

*Women's Wellness &Leadership Project*




This year at Vancouver Friends For Life Society, we have been incredibly
inspired by our new initiative: The Women’s Wellness and Leadership
Project. This peer-led project saw more than 50 applications in the first
two rounds, and so far has more than 25 applications, in our third and
final round.

We are honored to have already funded more than $59,000 in projects that
center leadership, wellness and education. From courses, to certifications,
workshops and alternative therapies - we are humbled to have been able to
help. To date, we’ve received fantastic applications from women in the
Fraser, Interior, Coastal and Island health authorities. This initiative is
accessible to women-identified folks living with HIV from all across the
province of British Columbia.

The final deadline is October 15. It’s not too late to participate - check
out our website: https://bit.ly/2SRRnXG.

For details on the project please see the application on our website in the
link below. For further information on eligibility, and application process
please contact Shelly at shelly at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca or leave a

*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=b5ed4e2936&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.
