1. Get your PT’s membership
If you didn’t pay the membership fee for Prosessiteekkarit, you can fill the membership application herehttps://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 linkhttps://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 herehttps://t.me/+n-rYO6zze2sxNzQ8.
1. PT x TiK x SIK Regular Sport Sessions Pack your indoor shoes and head to the ball sports hall of Otahalli every thursday at 21-22! There you will be able to play ball games with TiK, SIK, and other PT members. The sport will change every week.
1. Associations PauseTime on Wednesdays
Looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life? Take a well-deserved break and come to the pHuone to participate in Association’s PauseTime! 🥰☕️
Common PauseTimes will be organized weekly, this week on thursday from 16:15 onwards. Any exceptions will be announced. From 16:15 to 18:00, there will always be someone from the board so you can for example easily buy overall patches or get points for your point card during that time. Depending on the wishes of the people present, the break can be spent by playing games, having chit chat with a nice cup of coffee/tee on the side or even watching a film. Come to meet old and new PT-friends and make yourself at home in the association's living room!
You can get a Fuksi Point from participating in three PauseTimes!
6. 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 herehttps://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!

1. CanCan It’s time for ascendance and for the age-old traditions to be inhereted by the new generation of fuksis. CanCan must now pass from the hands of last year’s fuksis to you! Follow the Captain’s Channel actively, as more infor about CanCan and getting involved will come during the following week!
If CanCan really interests you kiinnostaa, you can also apply to be the CanCan-responsible! These responsibles coordinate their year’s CanCan dance troupe throughout their fuksi year. This includes booking gigs, contacting customers and other practicalities, such as arranging practice times for the gigs and events. It’s an incredibly fun, engaging and rewarding job (you can ask last year’s responsibles! @mellunkyla, @oonakuoppa, @helmihanninen), and you get to affect what your year’s CanCan looks like. The previous responsibles help, guide and train you in the position. If being a CanCan-responsible sounds like something you would be interested in, send a short, free-form application to Anna (@annanteeksi) on Telegram by Friday the 30th.

You can build your vehicle in any way you want, as long as it is not motorized. More detailed rules for the vehicles can be found from the registration form. So gather your group and start building. There is only a few weeks of time because the event day is already on the last day of the month, 30.9. See you at the races!🛺🏁

V Greetings
Anna: That was certainly a week :D Lettu Cup was a great start to the Fuksi Sitz week, thank you to all of you who braved the weather and came along! The crown jewel was the sitz, and I can’t wait to arrange another one for you in less than a month! Next week we’ll kick off CanCan, do some pub crawling, purchase tickets to 100 different events and FINALLY lay our teekkari caps to rest for the winter. You can raise the hype for PT’s upcoming win at Otaratha Grand Prix by listening to Vauhti kiihtyyhttps://open.spotify.com/track/4N84bVnNycTXiuoKZFEXrD?si=3e732e88005340b9 (“The Pace Is Picking Up”)!
Eetu: Once again a super active week! LettuCup was so much fun, and it was great getting to have a sitz with you for the very first time :) Next week it’s time for the Otatarha Grand Prix, let’s cheer PT:s vehicle to victory together! Those of you who are coming to CHEM-appro, remember to come say hi to Anna and me, we’re hosting the TuNa-checkpoint! This week Tu has actually gone and exercised, and celebrated his dad’s birthday. Nugget has discovered that he can jump on the sofa from the other side as well, and to optimize his time sleeping, he has made sure to use that lifehack a lot.
