In today’s meeting three new board members were chosen. Please welcome: Laura Luhta, Salla Kenttä and Akseli Pekkarinen. Also Taneli Ohtonen was chosen as the new treasurer, since Miika Vesti had to leave his position as a board member.

The board is now one member smaller as Jouko Kiesiläinen had to leave the position of trust due to lack of time. He will, however, continue as one of the two harrasment liaisons.

Now that the spring general meeting is upon us I remind you of TYRMY’s membership fee, which is naturally required to be a member. The fee is only 6 € and as decided in the last general meeting, you may now pay for a membership of multiple years; how handy! Should you choose to utilize this, please deal only in amounts dividable by six.

As a member, you:

• Are a part of Turku’s metal scene
• Support the beloved organization, music culture and student union activity
• Are entitled to attend members only events
• Get discount on select events and merchandise and priority in limited attendee events
• May speak and take part in decision making in organization’s meetings
• Are entitled to wear the member’s ribbon in appropriate festivities

You may transfer the funds to the account FI14 5711 1320 0434 71 and state your name in the message field of the transaction or by cash to the board in events.

If you haven’t been a member before, please also inform treasurer Hanna Yli-Paunu of your full name, your city of residence, your email address and if you are a member of TYY. Alternatively you may also use the form.

TYRMY’s survey

Now is an excellent opportunity to get to have a say on how and what TYRMY does right from your couch or wherever you feel comfortable. TYRMY’s survey for members and others who follow TYRMY (so you don’t have to be a member) is now open until the end of December. The responses are anonymous and they will be delivered to the board of 2018 to go through in order to develop TYRMY. The form is conveniently short and you don’t need to answer all the questions if you don’t feel like it, although it is recommendable.

It’s probably wise to do the survey straight away so you won’t forget it later. It does not take long or much, but it helps TYRMY quite lot! Thanks already in advance.

Teppo’s survey

A member of TYRMY, Teppo Reinikainen, is making his bachelor’s thesis and along with it a survey for TYRMY. Please consider responding to that also, it’s likewise open until the end of December.

Aaltonen, Laura. Hybridiaani, #78.

I have been a member of TYRMY since 2009 and consider myself as an active member. I’m a candidate for the Student Union of the University of Turku Council now for the third time and would very much like to continue to participate in the decision making of the Council. The Student Union is to a high degree quite familiar to me since I have been a project coordinator two times (2015 and 2017) and been a member of the board in the year of 2016; this is now my fourth year when engaging in the Student Union’s activity. A vote for me is a firm choice. Vote for number 78.
