[GSC-HCA-Offcampus] August Events + New OCH Co-Chairs

[Shannon Marie Moreno]

Hello off-campus folks,

Amanda, Molly and Shalini, the previous OCH co-chairs, have passed the torch for the 2019-2020 school year. We (Dylan, Kirby, and Shannon) are the new OCH co-chairs, and we are excited to announce our first events we have planned for you all!

We have some exciting events coming up this August. Since Restaurant Week is happening next month, we will be hosting a dinner at Harvest Cambridge and a lunch at the ArtBar! If dining out isn’t your thing, we will also be hosting a Charles River Sightseeing Cruz to enjoy the nice warm weather. See below for more details.

Sign up through the RSVP link for a spot in the lottery. If you'd like to come with a +1, sign up in the relevant columns on the form linked. 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- please join if you haven't already!) and then reach out to people on the waitlist as needed.

Best,
Dylan, Kirby, and Shannon
