Lets kick off the new academic year in the traditional Frontier-way – by getting together for some

Bowling & Pizza.

Time and place: September 20th, 6 p.m. (18.00) Porthania –> Pub –> 7-8 p.m Ruusulankatu Bowling –>Pizza Hut and pub crawl

Let’s meet in front of Porthania and make our way to the bowling alley together. We’ll have some time to grab a beer at a nearby pub – giving everyone an opportunity to get to know each other and a chance to us oldies to welcome our new members into our happy family

The bowling alleys are reserved from 7-8 p.m. BOWLING AND SHOE RENTAL WILL BE PAID BY FRONTIER!!! Those who want can come straight to the bowling alley (Ruusulan Keilahalli at Ruusulankatu 5 in Töölö). We’ll meet in front before 7.

After the good old all-American pastime we’ll move to the nearby Pizza Hut for some pizza, beer and good conversation. These unfortunately everybody have to purchase for themselves – except the conversation naturally being free of charge Last time we all shared the pizzas and it wasn’t all that expensive in the end…

(You should also prepare yourself for a pub crawl afterwards <— FULLY OPTIONAL but oh so much fun fun fun!!!)

YOU ARE ALL WARMLY WELCOME!

I’m expecting to see many members – old and new. Let’s make this a kick-ass awesome kick-off evening for everyone!

 Our beloved organization got back on its feet a year ago. And what a year it has been! The organization was able to throw a good amount of happenings and events last year. The kickoff in the fall term was a huge success, the Halloween party was a good practice on how to throw good parties…and Thanksgiving Dinner was pure heaven. Oscar Night was a night to remember. Surely both will stay a tradition from now on! We also organized a couple of game nights, bakesales, and pub gatherings. Each and every meeting and event brought new people to our organization and we’re looking forward to acquiring more active people to Frontier in the fall term 2007. The most interesting happenings, perhaps, were the two conference trips Frontier helped  organize in the spring term. Tartu and Tampere Conferences weren’t the same after us, frontierees, populated the conference rooms…

Next year we plan actively to recruit new members to our organization so that Frontier will stay alive and become one of the most popular and active student organizations in the university. If you want to participate in planning our upcoming events or if you have any ideas concerning the culture and party field, or any other issues related to Frontier, please feel free to contact any of the board members or come by at the fun and informal meetings this fall! We welcome everyone with open arms!!!

Next year we will definitely keep Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Oscar Night in the event list. Hopefully we’ll also be able to throw several smaller gatherings from movie nights to pub crawls. We will be active in terms of freshmen and we hope to get a bunch of new people to help us and give us new and fresh ideas. The most intersting and intriguing thing, however, is the possibility of a trip to Frontier’s homeland. Or home countries…so keep tuned, we’ll let you in on the details if and when we get our plans together.

Hopefully academic year 2007-2008 will be a year to remember. If that’s up to Frontier, the year will be full of fireworks. As far as parties and culture are concerned, I promise to keep Frontier active in terms of these. Enjoy your summer vacays so that in the fall term you’ll have enough energy to take part in all the fun!!

Cheers and see you all in the fall term!

Mother hen. A history major, but tends to go through at least a couple of minors every year. Passionate about music, movies, food and of course America. Loves good company, wild parties and even tough academic challenge at times. Would love to read all the books in the world, but doesn’t have the time or energy to finish practically any (something that tends to happen to anything she starts…). Schritzophrenically a hardened cynicist and a romantic with a hint of idealism all blended in one crazy and impulsive package. Giggles a lot (admittedly annoying.)

Academic interests: USA in the ’50s and ’60s; history of propaganda and advertisement; anti-communism; slavery; ideology of American Revolution; film noir and ’50s melodrama.

Secret wishes: to make a roadtrip across and around North America. To learn how to sing.
