Captains’ Weekly Newsletter #1
HeiMoi!
You have just received your first Captains’ Weekly newsletter, awesome! But what even is this and what is the difference between this and all the other mailing lists and groups?
The Captains’ Weekly newsletter is the main information channel from your Fuksi Captains to you, which gets sent every Sunday evening. In the newsletter, we collect together general things for you to remember and information about events organized by PT, CHEM, and other organizers. Additionally, there is information about Fuksi Points and upcoming possibilities to collect them.
In addition to the newsletter, there is information available on Telegram via Captains’ Channel and PT’s Information Channel, as well as PT’s own weekly newsletter. However, the newsletter for all PT members often omits the essential information and events directed for fuksis, so we recommend focusing mainly on the Captains’ Weekly as your source of information. The Captains’ Channel on Telegram is used mainly for faster updates on information and reminders. In order to get the most information as early as possible, make sure to read this newsletter.
Remember to apply for PT’s membership here<https://prosessiteekkarit.fi/en/membership/>, for example, because our events are only for members. Also, remember to join the PT Fuksis 2022<https://t.me/+cDQIRSFN-hAwODQ0> and Captains’ Channel <https://t.me/+NYO-pJq85SNiYmI0> -Telegram groups.

I Common things to remember
1. Get your PT’s membership
If you didn’t pay the membership fee for Prosessiteekkarit, you can fill the membership application here<https://prosessiteekkarit.fi/en/membership/>. The payment information will be sent to your email address.
2. PT’s weekly newsletter for members
You can join the PT mailing list at https://list.ayy.fi/mailman/listinfo/pt-info. This mailing list is used to inform members about upcoming events and other current affairs. A weekly bulletin is sent to the list every Monday, and by reading it actively you will be aware of the current student activities of the association and the rest of Otaniemi.
3. PT’s Telegram-group and information channel
Do you want to follow and participate in discussions regarding all PT members? Do you want to hear the ideas and thoughts of students from other classes as well? To do this, there is #PT, a common Telegram group to all PT members.
You can join the General Discussion Group #PT on Telegram from this link<https://t.me/+7hR6OekaJ0owMTU0>. The group is for both formal information and informal discussion. Please read the group rules when you join the chat.
In addition, PT has its own one-way information channel on Telegram, which works with the same principle as Captains’ Inform. It’s used for informing about events and condensing the weekly newsletter for all members. You can follow the information channel here<https://t.me/+n-rYO6zze2sxNzQ8>.
4. Pay the students’ healthcare fee if you haven’t already!
In 2022, the student healthcare fee in higher education is EUR 35.80 per term. It is paid to Kela once per term (spring and autumn), i.e., twice a year. Students are not billed for the fee but are expected to pay it on their own initiative. The amount that must be paid is defined in a Government Decree and may vary from year to year. More information can be found here<https://www.kela.fi/web/en/healthcare-fee-for-students-in-higher-education>. The deadline for the payment was 30.9. but you can still do it if you didn’t already!

II Events arranged by PT and CHEM
1. Grill ‘n Chill CANCELLED
We have begrudgingly decided to cancel Grill’n’Chill due to the unfortunate position of the stars in relation to Venus (in other words, the “Grill” part of the event is malfunctioning). We aim to arrange an alternative event to allow you to earn the Grill’n’Chill fuksi point later during the fall.
2. Cold Rolling 12.9.
Lämmönsiirto week is approaching and so is the traditional Cold Rolling!

In honor of Lämmönsiirto X, Prosessiteekkarit will head out to the beaches of Salmisaari on Monday the 12th of September at 15-16.30. Kin-ball is played in a tournament fashion in the event, and Beach volley at the players own pace on the side. After the games participants can use the saunas at the location. Participation costs 8€/person and there are 30 spots for participants. The sign up opens 1.9. at 12.00 and closes 9.9. at 23.55 here. The sign-up becomes binding after closing!

Further information will be posted in next week’s Captains’ weekly, and in the Captains’ Inform -telegram channel!
4. Catalysis 15.9.
As the tenth year also deserves a party of the decade, the Lämmönsiirto Week reaches an energy peak already well before the annual ball!

III Other events
1. Aalto Party and Afterparty 6.9.
The festival-like Aalto Party gives you the opportunity to see old friends and make new ones while enjoying the music and party atmosphere at Alvar Aallon puisto. Don’t miss the first party of the academic year – a day when all professors, staff and students meet in the same event.
Aalto Party includes various programmes and, of course, the traditional tug of war between the board of AYY and Aalto University's management team is something not to be missed, around 15.30 close to the AYY tent.
Aalto Afterparty makes a comeback in the middle of the solar system, in Otaniemi, after three years. During the evening, top artists will lift everyone’s party mood through the roof all the way to space.
In addition to the musical experiences, you’ll get to enjoy the bar and other fun activities. So head to Dipoli for one of the biggest parties of the school year!
The event is only for students older than 18.
2. CityOrienteering 8.9.
Dear Fuksis,
The time for the traditional CityOrienteering arrives on Thursday the 8th of September! In this sister event to last week’s OtaOrienteering, you get to take over the Eastern Harbour Town, also known as Helsinki. In our beautiful capital, you will be greeted by checkpoints and missions held by our wonderful associations and student nations. You’ll get to explore these checkpoints in groups of 5-8 people, and simultaneously get to know our beautiful neighbouring city.
The grand start for the even is held at the Senate Square at 5.15 pm. Be there on time! The event ends in the same place at 9 pm, after which we will move on indoors for the after party.
The entry ticket to the after party will be a wrist band that will be given to you at the grand start. You can simultaneously buy yourself the overall patch for the event from the Fuksi Committee for 2€ using cash or Mobilepay.
Wishing you luck with starting your studies,
Henri Brax

Anna: Wow, what an incredible run, you did it! It was so wonderful to get to see you all and follow along, you completed the whole week with such amazing energy! I spend the rest of the week lying in bed with the flu, but I’m saving up energy to go full blast again next week! As I await the start of studies with a mix of fear, I am comforted and energized by one song and one song only, Shanghain valot<https://open.spotify.com/track/774tMmxHPUdEOVJgr9rXGU?si=463637ceec4a4bb2>! See you next week :)
