[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] August- Seafood dinner and Harbor Islands trip!

[Molly Anne Bird]

Hello off-campus people!

To end the summer with style, we have two more awesome events for you in August! We'll be eating a delicious seafood dinner at Holly Crab in Allston and also taking a ferry to Spectacle Island for some sun, food, live music, and maybe hiking/swimming. See details below!

Sign up through the RSVP link for a spot in the lottery. We'll contact the first round of lottery winners closer to the date of the events (and post that invites went out on our Facebook group) and then reach out to people on the waitlist as needed.

Have a great rest of your summer!

Best,
Molly, Shalini, and Amanda

Description: Join OCH for an exciting experience at Holly Crab in Allston! Holly Crab is one of the best Cajun seafood restaurants in Boston — they serve spicy, saucy and extremely delicious boiled crawfish, shrimp and other seafood. The food is typically eaten with your hands, so you’ll need to put on a bib, some gloves, and get ready to get messy! Check out their menu here: http://hollycrab.com/allston/menu/. OCH will cover the cost of starters and half the cost of a regular priced meal, which brings the cost per person down to about $16 (not including drinks). Sign up for a spot in the lottery and we will get back to you with details on how to reserve your spot!
