| Beursvloer (Exchange Floor) On October 6th, we were once again present at the Beursvloer (Exchange Floor) event at the Willem II stadium! We spoke with many individuals and companies, and we look forward to collaborating with our new contacts.  Purple Friday On October 9th, we handed out cookies on campus for Purple Friday. The day before, we baked the cookies at the ‘De Nieuwe Stede’ community center and packaged them with a small card to raise awareness for Purple Friday—reminding us all that we share a collective responsibility to foster a loving and safe society.   Youth Forum Serve the City International From October 9th to 11th, we attended the Serve the City International Youth Forum in Brussels! We participated in lectures on how other cities approach volunteer work, as well as workshops focused on communication within our organization. There was also a plenary discussion where our chair had the opportunity to share her experiences as a young volunteer. Connecting with the international organization was incredibly valuable, and we look forward to working more closely with them in the future!  Constitutiondrink On October 15th, we held our constitutiondrink at Café de Boekanier. We had a fantastic time, and it was an honor and a great pleasure to welcome you all. We look forward to a wonderful year together!  Bonheur On October 20th, we were invited to an introductory dinner at Bonheur, alongside several other student boards. We had the chance to meet some of Bonheur’s staff and management, and we learned about the company’s history. We look forward to collaborating with them again this year. Getting to know our volunteers On October 22, we organized an introductory event for our committee volunteers: a pub quiz at ‘de Cultuurtuin’. It was wonderful to get together with all our volunteers and meet everyone. You are the heart of the foundation, and we are incredibly grateful for your contributions!  Muncipality dinner On Monday, October 26, our chair and vice-chair represented Serve the City Tilburg at a municipality dinner organized by SAM and FUST. This event provided an opportunity for various student organizations to connect with members of the municipal council. It was an engaging evening that led to many new connections. Second chance market From October 30 to November 1, we partnered with ContourdeTwern to host a second chance market at the ‘de Symfonie’ community center. We were delighted to provide many families and individuals with clothing and various items, giving these goods a new lease on life.
