The Last Friday: but Beards and Mustaches are forever.
At the last Friday of the Academic Year, we will be hosting an ETC only house party at our ComEx Annemijn’s place, and we call it: ‘The Last Friday: but Beards and Mustaches are Forever’. That is also the theme. Your interpretations are very welcome. And so are you.
For this party, there is a guest list, that you can sign up to via a link that will be posted here on June 8th. Do this soon as we have limited space available. Also, do note that after 10 pm on June 27th we will give your spot away if you’re not there yet.
We’ll take care of beer and snacks, but it is also BYOB. So if you want to drink more and/or something else, bring it yourself. Entrance, therefore, is free.
Let’s all give the year 2013/2014 a thunderous, smashing and magnificent ending.

The inbox of studievereniging.etc@gmail.com is mainly your responsibility, and together with the Treasurer, you’ll keep the membership file up-to-date, also within the e-mail.

You’ll take care of the member file together with the secretary, as well as the book sale. Furthermore, you make sure that Etcetera receives subsidy for certain events.

Along with other board member, you are the one to join in on meetings of these institutions. Furthermore, you are in contact with other study associations whenever needed.

Out of one of the board members, the vice-chair will be chosen. They will take over the Chair’s tasks when the Chair has to be absent.
If you are for some reason unable to send in your application before 29/4, maybe because you only now decided that you want to be a boardmember and you still have to finish your resume, maybe because you’re still in doubt, send us an email!
