A TASTE OF SUMMER - CH Newsletter #25 May 13, 2022

Dear CH members, 

This week came in HOT in Montreal…LITERALLY ☀️ With the beautiful blue skies and summer temperatures (in May!!!) we hope you all been enjoying the sun as much as we have, especially with the terraces finally set up and open! Yes, mom I’m making sure to put on sunscreen 🙄

Crazy to think that we had a mini-snowstorm a little over a month ago 🤯 The good thing is that Montreal summers are 🔥🔥🔥

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: FAY FROM CANADA 🇨🇦

Say hello to Chelsea House’s newest member: Fay!

She’s studying Fashion Design at Lasalle College. Oh and she’s a Montreal-native, which means you can ask her about her fave local spots 💁🏻‍♀️ Fay was a very serious ballet dancer and almost went pro 🩰 Her dream was to join a renown dance company in London, but as she got closer to achieving it, she realized that she wasn’t that passionate about ballet anymore and decided to pursue fashion design instead (huge kudos for embracing change) #followyourheart 🙌

She’s excited to meet the whole CH Fam, so let’s give her a warm WELCOME!!👋🏼

SHOW ME THE MONEY !! THE STUDENT JOB BOARD FOR SOME PART-TIME CASH $$$

For those of you sticking around Montreal this summer, take advantage of your extra free time in between semesters and make some $$$ so you can treat yourself for your hard work! 

• Barista @ Mouton Noir Cafe | For the coffee lovers, we thought this would be a perfect job for you! ☕️This is a casual job on the side that doesn’t require much work. All you need is to keep a happy face to serve customers a good cup of Joe 😊

• Remote Fundraiser | This is an easy going remote job 🏡 You can work part-time (great option if you wanna make some $$$ while taking summer classes). It’s a great opportunity to learn the basics to sales & a nice add-on to your CV ☎️

• Ice Cream Server @ La Diperie | As the weather is getting warmer, ice-cream is becoming more and more of a craving (as if it never was haha) - we get it - so we found a job where you can enjoy a lil’ (or a big) scoop of ice cream at the end of your days 🍦

HOUSE UPDATES 

With the semester coming to an end and the beginning of summer vacations 😎🏖 Chelsea House will be quieter than usual as we ramp up for the new school year! As we are entering the months where we run our rent-back program (June & July), we will, like other Montreal student residences, be renting out units for short term rentals. Please note that we manage the subletting of the units at CH, in order to be able to assess each guest to make sure it’s up to our standards.

Rest assured that this is done with the intent to not affect the Chelsea House experience to the very smart ones who decided to experience Montreal summer in full force !!
So you know:
- We will be renting out full apartments and not individual rooms (you won’t be affected)
- Our common areas are off-limits for short term guests (their keys will only unlock the main entrance & rented apartment door)

ALSO - seeing as we have only an ELITE group of summer Montrealers out here with us (Luciano, Liam, Jad —> Golf next Wednesday (this is PJ)) we’ll be sending out our newsletter every 2 weeks during this summer period (instead of weekly as you have all been used to). It’s not that we don’t love you Mom & Dad, but you’ve gotta enjoy the summer too!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to info@chelsea.house ☺️

THANK YOU FOR YOUR POSITIVE FEEDBACK !!

We’d like to take the time and personally thank you all for all your kind words, amazingly detailed reviews and just overall great energy towards our work, especially given it was our first year, we delivered during the height of COVID with many delays and whatnot. THE COMEBACK HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED.
It means a lot.

Thanks again 🙏

Speaking of which, we’re currently full force into onboarding new members for summer & fall 2022 💪YEAR 2, WE’RE COMING FOR YOU!  By the way, if you can’t get a hold of PJ, he’s probably doing an interview call with new applying members haha.

Stay classy CH FAM !!
