Annual

“Ragtimes,” which showcases current information about the wide variety of free

dues are for one year, starting on January 1st of each year. (A postcard reminder will be sent to all
members who have not renewed their membership by January 31st.)
Photos Taken by Staff
During
programs or activities, participants may be photographed by a staff member of
Windsor & Community Seniors, Inc. for publicity purposes. These photos may appear in “Ragtimes”, on the
WACSI web site, or in other publications.
If you do not want to have your photo taken and/or published, please
tell the photographer. You may also
contact the Activities Office at 937-644-8464.
Trip Policy
A
reservation for all trips must be made in advance. The reservation must be paid in full by the
advertised cutoff date in order to be able to pay the discounted amount. After the cutoff date, there will be a $10.00
additional fee added to your reservation.
If you find you must cancel a trip, please let the Activities Office
know as soon as possible. Please see
Refund Policy if you need to cancel your trip and remember we have to pre-pay
for all trips.
All travelers MUST
submit a File of Life to the Trip Coordinator upon entering the bus. Files of Life will be kept in a locked
container and returned to their owners upon arrival back in Marysville. If you don’t have this form, stop by the
Activities Office and pick one up prior to the trip. In addition, if we are going on a gambling
trip, you MUST bring a valid
Driver’s License or State Photo ID with you or you will not be able to gamble.
In the event
of illness or injury that cannot be resolved by basic first aid procedures, the
emergency squad will be called.
Depending on the recommendation of the EMT, the traveler will be allowed
to continue on the trip or be transferred to the nearest hospital by the
squad. For those who are able to
continue the trip safely, either the designated driver or the emergency squad
will be called when the bus approaches Marysville. Who is called will be at the discretion of
the Trip Coordinator with input from the traveler. In case of illness or injury
which involves medical intervention at a hospital, WACSI will not be
responsible for the traveler’s transportation back to Marysville. The traveler will have two options:
1) Bring the name and phone number of a person
whom the traveler contacted prior to the trip to ensure the contact
person will be available to transport the traveler; OR 2) use the driver
designated by WACSI. The traveler must
pay the driver for the round trip (from WACSI to the traveler’s home and from
their home back to WACSI) using the standard mileage defined by Union County.
A lift bus
will be reserved when possible for the accommodation of travelers using a
wheelchair or walker. Travelers in a
wheelchair will be required to bring an aide of the same sex or a
spouse/significant other to assist them during the trip. If a spouse or significant other is used as the
assistant, the traveler must have another designated traveler of the same sex
to assist him/her in the restroom. If an
aide is used rather than a spouse, the traveler will pay the same amount for
the aide’s trip fee as they have paid for their own fee (regardless of the
aide’s membership status). If a traveler
is able to transfer safely to a seat, they may do so.
Non-Member Fee
Non-members
will pay an additional $5.00 per trip. No
refunds will be given to non-members for cancellations that they initiate. No exceptions.
Refund Policy
If
a participant cancels a trip or activity, his or her seat may possibly be
filled from a waiting list (if we have one).
In addition, the participant can find a replacement for their seat in
order to qualify for a refund. Because
our fees are based on minimum participation numbers and are paid to the travel
company in advance, refunds must be requested at least 30 days prior to the
trip. Consideration will be given to
written requests for refunds in cases where there has been an injury or
unforeseen problem not within your control. If your written request is approved we will
refund as much as possible for the trip after all bills are paid, minus a
$10.00 processing fee.
If
Windsor & Community Seniors, Inc. cancels a trip, everyone who has signed
up and paid will receive a full refund.
