1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATIONS INSPECTORS IN ASSOCIATIONS
Since the beginning of 2011, the accountants of the associations are called operations inspectors regardless of what is mentioned in the association rules. Accounting is only done in very rare associations now since it cannot be done by any other than those who have completed an accountant’s professional degree.
This change may sound significant but actually nothing else than the inspector’s title changes in small associations. All papers of the previous year, such as the minutes, accounts and the financial statement must be submitted to the inspector in good time. The inspector(s) will provide a report which is covered in the association meeting in the spring. Based on the report, the association meeting confirms the financial statement and grants or denies a discharge.
You can read more about this change at ayy.fi /toiminnantarkastus (unfortunately only in Finnish at the moment, but coming soon in English)
2. ADVANCE BOOKING OF ONE-TIME RENTAL FACILITIES IS APPROACHING
In November-December, the associations can book AYY’s one-time rental facilities and the van in advance for the next spring and the summer. AYY provides one-time rental sauna and meeting facilities which the associations can book in advance. More information on the facilities is available at /en/students/space-rental/.
The deadline for bookings is 11 Dec and the final booking event will be organised on 14 Dec. More information will be provided closer to the event.
3. AYY’S WELL-BEING WEEK MOVES STUDENTS ON 31 OCT– 4 NOV
The well-being week on 31 Oct-4 Nov brings a healthy change to the students’ everyday life. AYY’s Sports Section Aalto-Liike together with the sports and well-being committee of KY moves students with various try-out sports. Some of the sport expenses have been paid on your behalf. It has never been this easy to try out fun sports. Get your booty shaking!

4. OTAKOPPI GATHERS A WOMEN’S BASEBALL GROUP – JOIN THE TEAM!
OtaKoppi is a baseball association operating within Aalto University Student Union, which now gathers a women’s team to play in a regional league next summer. We need more players to complete the team. You don’t necessarily need previous experience on playing in a team/league, but sportiveness and enthusiasm will get you far. However, it is recommended that you are familiar with baseball in some way. This is also an excellent opportunity to get back to baseball after your junior years or if you need a more relaxed team after more serious ones.
If you got even a little bit interested, please contact elina.kekki(at)iki.fi. Come and play in a fun team. Further information is also available at OtaKoppi website at www.otakoppi.fi (in Finnish)
