2. Join Eastgate on a trip to Singing Beach in Manchester by the Sea on 
Sunday July 13.  Singing Beach gets its name from singing sand, a type 
of sand that makes noises when you walk on it.  

We will leave Eastgate at 9:15, and take the Commuter Rail from North 
Station, which should get us to the beach by around 11:30am.  We will 
bring a few beach toys, so please feel free to bring your own as well.  
There is also a snack bar available at the beach.

All graduate students and their families are welcome!  Cost is $6 per 
adult and $1 per child under 12.  This includes Commuter Rail ticket, 
and beach entrance fee.  

This event is sponsored by the GSC Funding Board and Eastgate.
