7. Teekkari Sailors’ information evening on the 31st of January
The Teekkaripurjehtijat (Teekkari Sailors) association is once again organizing an information evening for new and old members!
If you feel like doing things together and learning new and fun things and a healthy dose of fresh sea air and the great big blue sound like something worth doing, come hear about sailing on Wednesday, the 31st of January 2018 at the Otaniemi Rooftop Sauna (Jämeräntaival 3A, top floor, regrettably the space is not handicap accessible) starting at 17:30.
Sailing is all about salty spray, challenges and speed, but also breathtaking sunsets, a chill vibe and beachfront saunas. There is something for everyone in sailing. The best way to start and to find awesome sailing buddies is to come to the event and familiarize yourself with the activities of the Teekkaripurjehtijat association!
At the event, we will present other upcoming events, courses, voluntary work events and of course the upcoming sailing trips of the summer and fall. There will be food and drink served, and of course the sauna will be heated.
Whether you are a seasoned seafarer or just getting interested in sailing, you are warmly welcome! Invite your friends along. The event is free of charge, all you need is a mind open to nautical adventures and (if you wish) some sauna gear.

See you at the event!
8. Beer ‘n’ Bible at restaurant Fat Lizard on the 31st of January at 17:30
“When I preach, I preach so that even a 7-year-old child can understand it. But when me and Master Melanchthon drink beer in the cellar and talk about theology, even God up in Heaven is astonished by our learning.”- Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Join the discussion, learn new things and get to know to new people! We are hosting an easily accessible Bible circle for students and young adults at the Fat Lizard restaurant on Wednesday, the 31st of January at 17:30. The Bible teaching is held by Aalto chaplain Marjut Mulari. The restaurant is located a stone’s throw from the Otaniemi metro station, and it is easy to find and serves food and drink.
