The Give a Shuck Auction

In case you haven’t heard, the Massachusetts Oyster Project is throwing a party on the night of Thursday, May 26 at the House of Blues in Boston. Long story short: lots of oysters on the half shell, drinks, live music, interesting speakers, and a pretty intriguing silent auction lineup. It’s a party, but it’s a fundraiser for our work getting water cleansing native oysters back into Massachusetts waters.
