Dear fellow Alumni,
You are hereby warmly welcomed to join us at the Mikkeli BBA/BScBA
Alumni Annual meeting!
The general meeting is the most important event of our association, not
only because it serves as the first official Alumni event after this
year’s Mikkeli Graduation, but also due to the fact that it will
provide us with a brand new Alumni Board – remember that You have the
power! In addition, a renewed set of rules for our organization’s
operation will be introduced and voted upon at the meeting. The
renewed rules, in Finnish, were sent as an attachment via e-mail – oral
translations will be available in the meeting / written translations
will be delivered beforehand per request. PLEASE, NOTIFY US if you haven’t received the e-mail!

PLEASE NOTE! The only major changes to the organization’s rules have been the following:

Also, the annual report for the fiscal year 2011 and budget for the
year to come will be confirmed.
The meeting will take place on the 14th of May at 18.00 o’clock on the
third floor of the KY building at Pohjoinen Rautatiekatu 21 B, 00100
Helsinki. The meeting will be held in the official language of the
Alumni association, which is Finnish, but oral translations of the
agenda (here) and the discussion will be available.
If you are interested in joining the Alumni Board, don’t hesitate to
contact us! The Board for 2012-13 should entail at least the following
key positions:

Dear Alumni,
The bi-annual Alumni Cocktail Party will take place on March 10th – and You are hereby invited to join us for some cocktails and snacks!
This year’s Cocktail Party will take place in one of the cabinets at restaurant Botta next to the Parliament House (Museokatu 10, Helsinki – see map). From there, those willing can continue their night at Club Manala downstairs! The price for attendance is 29€/person, including a welcome drink and a selection of finger foods – as well as fabulous Babalumni company, of course ;) (Additional drinks will be available from the adjacent bar serving only our party)
The venue has a maximum attendance of 80 people, so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible! The deadline for registration AND payment is Sunday, February 26th!
So, here’s the nutshell:
We hope to see as many Babas there as possible – BBA and BScBA alike!
With Best Regards,
Your Alumni Board
Dear fellow Alumni,
Welcome to the Babalumni Christmas Party – the party you have been waiting for ever since surviving the crayfish shindig! Time is certainly right for yet another great opportunity to get together with your old baba-friends and to meet new amazing alumni while enjoying the Christmas spirit!
The event takes place on Saturday, November 26th at Siltanen in Helsinki’s Kallio where we will wine and dine in fabulous company!
Siltanen has reserved a space from 18.00 til’ closing time (~2am) just for us, but unlike with the Crayfish party, we will not be requiring binding sign-ups at this point. However, as the reserved space has its limits, we appreciate any info on definite show-ups! (And so will other Babas – spread the word ;)
If you want to look at the menu beforehand, it can be found at http://www.siltanen.org/a-la-carte/ We will not be having any set menu, but instead everybody is encouraged to eat and/or drink to their own liking. Please note in any case that the kitchen closes at 11 pm.
You don’t want to miss out on an evening involving good food, intoxicating drinks and great people! So grab your Christmas spirit and come celebrate the season with your fellow babas.
Looking forward to it already!
The Babalumni Board
P.S. Christmasy attire is optional but definitely not frowned upon.
For those of you joining us at Suomenlinna (and yes, we do have a list at the door just in case..), here’s what’s what:
After getting off the ferry, head for the ‘other’ island called Susisaari. From there on, follow the signs leading to “Tenalji vor Fersen”, which is right next door. Our site has the text Myllysali right next to the door (on the wall), and we will be having a ‘Private event’ sign just outside the door.

Hello.
Will be sending e-mail regarding the Crayfish party in the near future to all those attending – Stay tuned!
BR,
Alumni Board
P.S. There are people who have signed up, but haven’t yet paid for their ticket. Do it Now or earlier, we hate sending reminders on such simple matters!
P.P.S. The party is booked full. No more people will be admitted. The location has its limits and all that.
Dear Mikkeli BBA/BScBA Alumni,
You are hereby invited to the Annual Alumni Crayfish Party, taking place on Saturday, September 10th! With the Alumni Board freshly rejuvenated, we have set off with the goal of delivering the best Crayfish Party to date – and so, after missing a couple of years (as every annual event is allowed to do at least once), this legendary party is coming back with a bang!
To start things off, we made sure the location would suit our high standards. For this purpose, we opted for the event to take place in Suomenlinna’s Myllysali, a site known for not only the obvious historical aspect, but also for its ability to accommodate a party of this scale! Unfortunately, however, all sites have their restrictions; in this case, the party will have a maximum attendance of 60 people, accepted on a first come/first served basis – so be fast about it!
Secondly, the tickets are available at a price as low as 30 euros apiece! For this price, one will gain access to not only the crayfish, but also three ‘long drinks’ (which, in this case, are actually beer, cider or wine) AND three schnapps! Alternative food and drink options will be available to accommodate non-alcoholic / other diets (including non-crayfish) – the nature of which will be decided based on the information we receive from You.
Finally, we have a roughly 99,37% chance of an attendance ranging from BBA1 all the way up to BScBA8! Can’t beat that!
The Alumni Board will be selling additional beer, cider and wine at the venue through a Pentti-style ticket system, so remember to bring some extra cash! Also, we intend to continue the night at a restaurant on dry land once the crayfish have been dealt with – just something to keep in mind when setting out for the night!
To ensure your seat around the tables;
1. Sign up through the Contact & Registration form on the right side panel (Don’t forget to mention any possible allergies!!); AND
2. Pay the ticket price of 30 euros per person to the BBA Suomi Ry’s account 101330-140290 by August 14th! Please note, that signing is confirmed only once the payment is realized. (Do include the names of all persons being paid for, if more than one)
3. Be at the Myllysali on time, the party is to start around 18.00 (and last until 23.30 at this particular location)
Beyond these, just be prepared to have a good time – the Babalumni way!
Be seeing You there,
Your Alumni Board
P.S. We will be publishing more specific information on the location (i.e., how to get there) closer to the event date.
As of yesterday (May 23rd, 2011), Alumni operations have been under the management of a new board!
Board members are listed under the Board tab on the right – more detailed role descriptions to be added when available.
Boogie on,
