Write a Christmas Card for the Elderly

Bestuur

Dear Gyrini, 

Let the countdown begin… because Christmas is just around the corner! A good prospect to relax during the holidays after the last exam week of the year. In addition to good food and conviviality, Christmas is also about caring and that is why, just like in previous years, we want to distribute Christmas cards among the elderly in the Netherlands. Loneliness is common during this time of the year and this needs to be changed! Help us by making a difference and fill a card with a personal message, poem, encouraging words or something else creative. You can write your message in English in the form https://www.gyrinus.nl/christmascards/ and we will translate the message and write the card for you. You can also leave a message in Dutch or write it in a card yourself in the Gyrinusroom (WN-PO22). The cards can be handed in until Thursday December 9th at 17.00h.  Thank you on behalf of the national elderly care fund and the Actcie, who will ensure your card gets to the right address.

With love, Actcie

Put your shoe down

Bestuur

Sinterklaas and Piet are back in the country again! This means we got the message from them that they will come by the 3rd of December. They were really sad that the Sinterklaasborrel could not take place anymore, so they came up with an alternative: Put your shoe down! This means that at the 3rd of December, you can come by at the Gyrinusroom and drop your shoe there (from 9 to 5 ofcourse). Leave a little present for Ozosnel and sing a Sinterklaas song as loud as you can. After the weekend, you might find a present and a personalized poem based on the beautiful Roddelbox which is very, very full of rumours.

A couple of notes:
– Please leave a small note with your name in your shoe. Otherwise Sinterklaas does not know where to look in his book for the best rumours about you.
– Do not come by in big groups: you can come with a couple of friends or alone. We don’t bite 😊.
– Have fun!

Where: Gyrinus room (P-022)
What to bring: Your shoe, note with your name
When: The 3rd of December from 09:00 – 17:00
Price: Presents are free

Werewolves

Aahhwoooooo! Full moon rising, the cold air and the silent nights. They’re coming. The bloodthirsty werewolves are drawing nigh. Is it you, your friend or one of your other “innocent” colleagues? Who knows? How many will fall until the werewolves are done feasting? Eliminate the hungry beasts and save the village.

But wait, not every innocent villager is as simple as they seem. Some might shoot, curse or make others fall in love whilst the mystery remains unsolved. Are you up to the task and will you save the town of Miller’s Hollow?

Come and join the Spelcie on Wednesday the 17th for a classic game of Werewolves! There is going to be a lot of mystery and of course drinks! Sign up now through the link or you can join us on the day of the event!

Date: 17th of November

Price: free to join, but bring cash for drinks
