COURTESY CALL/TEXT OR EMAIL
We appreciate everyone’s hectic lifestyle and situations do come up at the last minute. We do however ask if you can possibly advice us of your absence from classes. Some of our venues require our staff to travel a fair distance up to one and half hours. This will enable us to contact others in the class and reschedule any classes effected by absentees.
SAYING
The effect you have on others is the best currency there is. NO amount of money could buy that, it comes from the heart. Jim Carey
