- Students’ Independence Day Procession
Students in the Helsinki capital region will celebrate Finnish independence in a traditional manner on the 6th of December by holding a shared Independence Day procession. Everyone is welcome to join the procession. The organizers will provide participants with torches and lights, handed out at the start of the procession. Associations can take part in the procession with their own official flag.
Instructions and schedule for the event can be found at https://itsenaisyyspaiva.ayy.fi/juhlakulkue-2017/. The FB page for the event can be found at https://www.facebook.com/events/124333588235604/.
As before, AYY will offer the following services to its members:
Flag taxi:
You must deliver your association’s flag to the service point (Otakaari 11) by Monday, the 4th of December 2017, by 16:00, AND the flag must be recorded in the delivery list. Make sure to record the flag in the list, because we will only take the flags with us that are found on the list. The flags will be returned to the same place, and they should be picked up by Friday, the 8th of December.
Carrying belts and blue and white herald ribbons:
The Student Union can borrow participants a limited number of carrying belts for flags and blue and white herald ribbons suitable for all flags. Reservations on a first-come, first-serve basis to the email address arkisto at ayy.fi. The items can be found near the flags at the place of assembly on the day of the event.
Flagbearers and heralds can leave their bags safely in the operations car for the procession. We will drive the car to the Senate Square. You can take your belongings with you when leaving your flag at the car for the return transport. Flagbearers and heralds should not have any bags with them in the procession. The fastest can also get a ride back to Otaniemi starting from 18:15.
- #LuovutusAalto vol. 2 still under way for November!
Nearly a thousand voluntary blood donors are needed every weekday to make sure that about 50,000 seriously ill patients receive the treatment they need every year. That is why the Aalto University Student Union is once again challenging all associations active within AYY to donate blood for the common good!
The autumn LuovutusAalto challenge started on the 2nd of October, and you can donate until the 30th of November. Like in the spring, the associations that have donated the most blood, both quantitatively and in percentage terms in relation to their number of members, are awarded the use of one of AYY’s sauna facilities for one night, a diploma from the Finnish Red Cross – and of course glory and adoration! All donors also receive an overall patch from the Finnish Red Cross. In addition, groups that have donated at least 10 times during the year will receive a diploma and their names will be put up on the Blood Service website.
