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

[Kevin Cedrone]

Dear fellow off-campus grad students,

We have a few events to tell you about. Also, we will reduce our activity
in September to avoid interfering with orientation events that the GSC and
departments are working hard to organize.

Let us know if you have any off-campus concerns about transportation,
community or safety. Also please send us your suggestions for outings,
activities or other ways to build community in any off-campus
neighbourhoods you may feel are neglected. Family friendly, kid-friendly,
extreme sports. We're up for anything!

Hope to see you at an event soon,

Kevin and Kelsey

PS: Tired of finding the signup list full? If you organize the event, you
are guaranteed a free spot.
