Recap of NIB Trip to George’s Island

Over a dozen Net Impact members and their significant others took George’s Island by storm on Saturday, May 22 for good food and fun. The excellent weather permitted a number of activities including a round-trip boat ride, exploration of the island’s civil war fort, a competitive croquet tournament, a messy egg toss, and last but not least, great food.

Organizer Greg Andeck said after the event, “This is just a taste of outdoor activities to come for Net Impact Boston. Getting people outside is a fantastic way to build new friendships and cement old ones. We’re already planning a hike for later in the summer.”

Stay tuned for more!
