1. BADGE SALES ON MONDAY 15 APR AND THURSDAY 25 APR
May Day is gradually approaching and it is the best time to earn some extra funds for your association. Teekkari Section will arrange badge sales in front of Hall M on Monday, 15 Apr and in connection with Akateeminen Wartti on Thursday, 25 Apr. In the event, we sell your badges at the prices that you have determined. All income from the event comes directly to you (-5 % to cover cash flow costs and losses) and you will naturally get back all the unsold badges. The maximum number of badges is 50. The maximum number for guild badges and other popular badges is 100.
Your share in all of this is as simple as Äpy sales.
- Fill out the form below: https://lomake.ayy.fi/teekkarijaosto/merkkimyynti-badge-sales/
- Arrive at Lämppäri (Lämpömiehenkuja 2) and head to Valtakunta, where you return the form that you have filled in (http://www.tinyurl.com/merkkimyynti) and deliver badges for sale (separate different ones) in a cardboard box available in the room.
Badges delivered before 13 Apr will be sold on 15 Apr. The official DL is 19 Apr, so badges delivered before that and those left from the previous sales will be sold on 25 Apr. You will get your badges back when the persons in charge of badge sales recovers from May Day celebrations.
Please note that there is also possibilty to bring your badges to the AYY central office (Lämpömiehenkuja 2) on Sunday 14.4. from 3pm to 6pm. The doors are locked so call +358 503011931 (Kim Kavander) or +358 407276021 (Juha Jokela) and we come to open the door.
