“Schoen Zetten”

Saint Nicholas talked to the VSA
Because he had some things to say
He told us you had all been nice
So to the board’s great surprise
Sinterklaas gave us permission
To carry out a Dutch tradition
If this sounds interesting to you
Come to the board room, and don’t forget to bring a shoe

During the Dutch holiday of Sinterklaas, children put a shoe in front of the fireplace and sings songs before going to bed🔥🎼. In the night, Saint Nicholas and his helpers visit through the chimney to fill up the shoes with gifts and traditional Sinterklaas candy 🍫.

What you might not know is that the VSA board knows Sinterklaas personally, and he told us he will pay our board room a visit. So leave your shoe 🥾 (or anything else you can put stuff in if you don’t want to temporarily have one shoe less 🥣🎩🪹) in the board room and maybe even sing a song. When you return, you will find a nice surprise in your shoe(-alternative)!

📍 WHERE: VSA Board Room, basement level of EOS building, the “Ondergang”

⌚ WHEN:
You can stop by to leave your shoe during the Open Board Meeting or on Friday the 17th of November, anytime between 10:00 and 17:00.
You can pick up your filled shoe on Monday the 20th of November, anytime between 10:00 and 17:00.
