Hey everyone! The semester has started and so have the parties, now it is VIS’ turn to help out with Slottsstallarna. Every night when Slottsstallarna is open, all of the workers there are students, so let’s be collegiate and give people who work when we party a chance to enjoy the party themselves. We are looking for 7 people on Thursday 26/10 and 17 on Friday 27/10, so use this chance to have fun working with friends and meeting new people. For every night you work you get - A workers card from Slottsstallarna that grants you either priority in the queue or free entrance - Half a coupon for a lunch buffet in STENladan - Half a cinema ticket for SF Bio After working twice you can stop by our office and pick up your rewards. We will also then add you to the list of people that get an invitation to our “Thank you” event at the end of the semester. During the working hours there you can eat and drink as much as you want for free as long as it is non-alcoholic.
