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

Wed Aug 1 12:00:48 EDT 2012

Dear fellow off-campus students,

There's an off-campus brunch in Inman Square and a number of other events
around campus.

I'm looking into go-karting, paintball, laser tag and mini golf. If you
know any places that are T-accessible, please let me know.

Due to weak feedback, I'm going to shelve the babysitting event idea until
further notice.

As always, let me know if you have any other event or activity suggestions.

Hope to see you at an event soon!

Your off-campus reps,
Kevin Cedrone and Kelsey Stoerzinger
