[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] Off-campus events and announcements

[Kevin Cedrone]

Dear Off-Campus Residents,

Alex and I are nearing the end of our term as off-campus committee
co-chairs. We encourage you to get involved in the GSC, in particular the
GSC Housing and Community Affairs Committee, of which the Off-Campus
Subcommittee is a component.

This crop of events is distributed through Cambridge and Boston a little.
If there is an area, restaurant or event you want to attend, let us know.

The GSC Off-Campus Party Fund is looking for parties to sponsor. Plan a
party, invite some off-campus students (as many or as few as you want) and
let us help pay for it!

Finally, as always, please let us know if you have any safety, community,
social or other issues at MIT. Even if they are not related to living
off-campus, we are one of your links to the GSC.

Both positions require that you attend monthly meetings with the other

serves which consists of adding new resident, deleting residents as
the move out, and moderating posts from unapproved sources.
