TERMINATION

While every effort will be made to avoid or correct a situation warranting termination, we have the right to terminate any participant/assistant at any time if we feel it is not in the best interest of the participant or Kaleidoscope of WNY, Inc.

COST

Kaleidoscope of WNY, Inc.  bills on a monthly basis. For new participants, sign up for classes 2 weeks prior to the first of the month to reserve your spot. Our days fill up quickly and are on a first come first served basis. Invoices are emailed to each participant by the first of the month unless otherwise noted. 

Payment is due upon receipt. We only accept online payment. Please do not bring payment to the Kaleidoscope building to avoid misplacement of your check.

Once payment is received, a paid invoice will be emailed (or received immediately for online payors) for reimbursement if you choose to submit it. If payment is not received by the 15th of the month, participant will be unable to attend further classes until it is paid and a late payment fee of 5% of your total invoice or $50 whichever is less will be assessed. If your check is returned, we will apply a $20 fee.

 

SAFETY

Anyone exhibiting destructive or unmanageable behavior will be asked to leave.

ILLNESS

Participants/assistants are asked to stay home if they are exhibiting any sign of illness.

EMERGENCIES

If at any time you or your assistant experience a medical emergency, 911 will be called. We will notify the responsible party as soon as possible after we are sure the participant has the help they need. Your assistant should know what your wishes are and how to help should a medical emergency occur. We are not trained to assist with any medical situation.

Kaleidoscope thrives on collaboration and teamwork. Our Executive Board is dedicated to ensuring the organization runs smoothly and that every participant enjoys a meaningful, positive experience. We volunteer our time and efforts out of a genuine commitment to supporting and strengthening our community.
